Using the activity method, calculate the first two years of depreciation expense for a vehicle that cost
$ 32 comma 000$32,000,
has an estimated useful life of five years or
125 comma 000125,000
miles, and has an estimated salvage value of
$ 2 comma 500$2,500.
The number of miles driven each year is as follows:
| Year 1 | 25 comma 00025,000 |
| Year 2 | 35 comma 00035,000 |
| Year 3 | 15 comma 00015,000 |
| Year 4 | 45 comma 00045,000 |
| Year 5 | 5 comma 0005,000 |
Let's calculate the depreciable cost when we employ the activity method.
|
|
| - |
| = | Depreciable cost |
|
|
| - |
| = |
|
Now we can determine the depreciation per unit. (Enter the cost per mile to three decimal places.)
|
|
| / |
| = | Depreciation per mile |
|
|
| / |
| = |
|
Now that the cost per unit has been established we can depreciate the vehicle based on the number of miles driven.
| Year |
| Miles driven | x | Depreciation per mile | = | Depreciation expense |
| 1 |
| x |
| = |
| |
| 2 |
| x |
| = |
