Joe Heffernan decided to start a snow removal business in his neighbourhood, which he called Snow Care. He invested his used truck into the business on November 1, 2020. Joe had purchased the truck on November 1, 2017 for $17.800. He looked up the fair market value of his truck on a popular web site and arrived at a value for his truck of $9,600 as of November 1, 2020. At that time, he used $4,000 from his savings account to pay for the overhaul needed in order to prepare the truck for pushing a heavy plow. Then, after investing additional cash into the business, Snow Care was able to purchase, on November 5, a brand new snow plow to be attached to the truck, at a cost of $8,710. The apparatus to attach and operate the plow cost $3,500. In order to operate the truck on the streets, Joe was required to upgrade his driver's licence at a cost of $720 per year ($60 per month), add commercial use to his truck insurance at $2,700 per month, and purchase a $880 business licence that was valid for one year. Based on its seasonal operations, Joe determined that his business should depreciate the truck and plow using the units-of- production method. When making this decision, Joe also considered the estimate of the residual values of these two assets. He believes that the truck will last another four years and be driven a total of 67.000 kilometres, at which time it could be sold for $870. In the case of the plow, estimated units of production will also be 67,000 kilochetres and the residual value is expected to be $3,500 after four years of use Snow Care used the truck for 5,000 kilometres in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 and 16,600 kilometres during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021. Snow Care is considering using the double diminishing balance method instead of the units of production method. Prepare a depreciation schedule using double diminishing balance to show depreciation expense, accumulated depreciation, and carrying amount for the truck each year until it is fully depreciated.
