The truck is expected to be sold for approximately $6,500 at the end of its useful life. Prepare a comparison of the first year’s depreciation expense that will be recognized under these methods, assuming the truck was actually driven 10,000 miles in the first year. Briefly state why the difference between the two sis so great.
