A delivery truck was purchased for $60,000 and is expected to be used for 5 years and 100,000 miles. The truck’s residual value is $10,000. By the end of the first year, the truck has been driven 16,000 miles. What is the depreciation expense in the first year using activity-based depreciation?
Cost of Truck = $60,000
Estimated use = 100,000 miles
Residual value = $10,000
Depreciation per mile = ( Cost of Truck- Residual value)/ Estimated use
= ( 60,000-10,000)/100,000
= 50,000/100,000
= $0.5
Miles driven in first year = 16,000
Depreciation expense for first year = Miles driven in first year x Depreciation per mile
= 16,000 x 0.5
= $8,000
Kindly give a positive rating if you are satisfied with this solution and please ask if you have any query.
