Depreciation by units-of-activity Method

Prior to adjustment at the end of the year, the balance in Trucks is $397,400 and the balance in Accumulated DepreciationTrucks is $116,580. 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 $86,000 $12,900 230,000 miles 34,500 miles
2 110,900 13,308 360,000 $22,180 36,000
3 90,500 12,670 204,000 $72,400 20,400
4 110,000 13,200 360,000 $22,000 43,200

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. Enter all values as positive amounts.
