Flounder company purchased a delivery truck for $33,000 on january 1, 2020. the truck has an expected salvage value of $2,000, and is expected to be driven 100,000 miles over its estimated useful life of 10 years. actual miles driven were 13,800 in 2020 and 10,200 in 2021. calculate depreciation expense per mile under units-of-activity method. (round answer to 2 decimal places, e. g. 0.50.) depreciation expense per mile compute depreciation expense for 2020 and 2021 using (1) the straight-line method, (2) the units-of-activity method, and (3) the double-declining-balance method.

Through straight line method

In year 2020 =3100

In year 2021 = 3100

Through double declining method

In year 2020=6600

In year 2021= 5280

Through activity based

in year 2020=4544

in year 2021=3366

Explanation:

Through straight line method

Formula is (Cost-salvage)/Useful years

So,

Cost of good is $33000

Salvage amount is $2000

Number of useful years 10

Putting the values

(33000-2000)/10

3100

As, this is straight line method, depreciation for the next year (2021) would also remain same. 3100

Through double declining method

Formula is 2* depreciation rate

so, 2* 1/10

double declining rate is 1/5

So, 33000*1/5= 6600

6600 for 2020

Next year (2021),

Now we would subtract the amount of 6600 (already depreciated) from the 33000.

So, 33000-6600= 26400

Applying the rate, 26400*1/5 = 5280

So, next year 5280

Through activity based

we depreciate the truck according to its usage

So, in first year it was used 13800 miles. Maximum it can be used for 100,000 miles

First year 13800/100000= 13.8% used

we depreciate then 33000*13.8%= 4554

So, in 2020 4554

Next year (2021)

It was driven 10200 which is 10200/100000= 10.2%*33000

So, 0.102*33000= 3366

In 2021, depreciation of machine according to the activity based system was 3366
