Depreciation by Units-of-activity Method

Prior to adjustment at the end of the year, the balance in Trucks is $425,000 and the balance in Accumulated DepreciationTrucks is $131,400. Details of the subsidiary ledger are as follows:

Truck No. Cost Estimated Residual Value Estimated Useful Life Accumulated Depreciation at Beginning of Year Miles Operated During Year
1 $81,500 $12,225 240,000 miles 36,000 miles
2 119,000 14,280 280,000 $23,800 28,000
3 104,500 14,630 212,000 83,600 21,200
4 120,000 14,400 340,000 24,000 40,800

a. Determine for each truck the depreciation rate per mile and the amount to be credited to the accumulated depreciation section of each subsidiary account for the miles operated during the current year. Keep in mind that the depreciation taken cannot reduce the book value of the truck below its residual value. Round the rate per mile to two decimal places.
