P9-28A Capitalized asset cost and first year depreciation, and identifying depreciation results that meet management objectives
 
 
 
On January 9, 2010, Swifty Delivery Service purchased a truck at a cost of $67,000. Before placing the truck in service, Swifty spent $2,200 painting it, $5,000 replacing tires, and $5,000 overhauling the engine. The truck should remain in service for 6 years and have a residual value of $14,700.  The truck- annual mileage is expected to be 15,000 miles in each of the first 4 years and 10,000 miles in each of the nest 2 years—80,000 miles in total. In deciding which depreciation method to use, Jerry Speers, the general manager, requests a depreciation schedule for each for each of the depreciation methods (straight-line, units of production, and double-declining balance).
 
 
 
Requirements: 
 
1.      Prepare a depreciation schedule for each depreciation method, showing asset cost, depreciation expense, and asset book value.
 
2.      Swifty prepares financial statements using the depreciation method that reports the highest net income in the early years of asset use. For income tax purposes, the company uses the depreciation method that minimizes income taxes in the early years. Consider the first year Swifty uses the truck. Identify the depreciation methods that meet the general manager- objectives, assuming the income tax authorities permit the use of any of the methods.
