Crane Arrow Ltd$.$ purchased a new bus on October $1,2024,$ at a total cost of $$209,418.$ Management is considering the merits of using

the diminishing$-$balance or units$-$of$-$production methods of depreciation instead of the straight$-$line method, which it currently uses

for its other buses. The new bus has an estimated residual value of $$21,000,$ and an estimated useful life of either four years or

$303,900km.$ Use of the bus will be sporadic so it could be much higher in some years than in others. Assume the new bus is driven as

follows: $7,800km$ in $2024$; $101,300$ km in $2025$; $62,900km$ in $2026$; $97,000km$ in $2027$; and $34,900$ km in $2028.$ Crane Arrow has an

October $31$ year end.

$($a$)$

Your answer is incorrect.

Prepare separate depreciation schedules for the life of the bus using: $($Round depreciation per unit to $2$ decimal places, e$.$g$.5\mathrm{.}28$ and

final answers to $0$ decimal places, e$.$g$.5,275.)$

$(1)$ Straight$-$line method:

$2$ double diminishing balance method

$3$ units of production method
