Problem 9-2A (Part Level Submission)

In recent years, Avery Transportation purchased three used buses. Because of frequent turnover in the accounting department, a different accountant selected the depreciation method for each bus, and various methods were selected. Information concerning the buses is summarized as follows.

Bus		Acquired		Cost		Salvage Value		Useful Life in Years		Depreciation Method
1		1/1/15		$ 100,000		$ 5,500		4		Straight-line
2		1/1/15		113,000		10,000		5		Declining-balance
3		1/1/16		81,600		9,000		4		Units-of-activity

For the declining-balance method, the company uses the double-declining rate. For the units-of-activity method, total miles are expected to be 110,000. Actual miles of use in the first 3 years were 2016, 27,000; 2017, 35,000; and 2018, 30,000.

A1. For Bus #3, calculate depreciation expense per mile under units-of-activity method. (Round answer to 2 decimal places, e.g. 0.50.)

A2. Compute the amount of accumulated depreiation on each bus at December 31, 2017.

B. If Bus 2 was purchased on April 1 instead of January 1, what is the depreciation expense for this bus in (1) 2015 and (2) 2016? (Round answers to 0 decimal places).
