Kwik taxi service uses the units-of-activity method in computing depreciation on its taxicabs. each cab is expected to be driven 140,000 miles. taxi 10 cost $24,300 and is expected to have a salvage value of $700. taxi 10 was driven 28,000 miles in 2016 and 33,000 miles in 2017. a) determine the depreciation cost. b) compute the depreciation expense for each year.

Explanation:

Depreciation cost :

2016: expected useful life

           Cost - salvage value       X    usage

= 140,000

24,300-700

=5.93*28,000 = $166,101.69

2017:  expected useful life

           Cost - salvage value       X    usage

= 140,000

24,300-700

=5.93*33,000 = $195,762.71

Depreciation Expense:

2016: (cost-salvage value)*actual activity performed

             total estimated useful life

= (24,300-700)*28,000

          140,000

=$4,720

2017: (cost-salvage value)*actual activity performed

             total estimated useful life

= (24,300-700)*33,000

          140,000

=$5,562.86
