Determining depreciation amounts by three methods

______________

Piccadilly Pizza bought a used Toyota delivery van on January 2, 2019, for $19,200. The van was expected to remain in service for four years (71,200 miles).

The van traveled 28,000 miles the first year, 20,500 miles the second year, 18,500 miles the third year, and 4,200 miles in the fourth year. Prepare a schedule of depreciation expense per year for the van under the three depreciation methods discussed in this chapter.
