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 yearsâ€â€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.
