The truck's annual mileage is expected to be 21,000 miles in each of the first four years and 16,000 miles in the fifth year100,000 miles in total. In deciding which depreciation method to use, Jordan Lipnik, the general manager, requests a depreciation schedule for each of the depreciation methods (straight-line, units-of-production, and double-declining-balance). Read the requirements Requirement 1. Prepare a depreciation schedule for each depreciation method, showing asset cost, depreciation expense, accumulated depreciation, and asset book value. Begin by preparing a depreciation schedule using the straight-line method. Straight-Line Depreciation Schedule Depreciation for the Year Asset Depreciable Useful Depreciation Accumulated Book Date Cost Cost Life Expense Depreciation Value 1-1-2018 12-31-2018 + 12-31-2019 + + 12-31-2020 12-31-2021 12-31-2022 + Before completing the units-of-production depreciation schedule, calculate the depreciation expense per unit. Select the formula, then enter the amounts and calculate the depreciation expense per unit. (Round depreciation expense per unit to two decimal places.) = Depreciation per unit Requirements Prepare a depreciation schedule using the units-of-production method.
