Depreciation for Partial Periods Clifford Delivery Company purchased a new delivery truck for $36,000 on April 1, 2019. The truck is expected to have a service life of 5 years or 120,000 miles and a residual value of $3,000. The truck was driven 8,000 miles in 2019 and 20,000 miles in 2020.

1. Depreciation Expense for 2019 and 2020:

            Straight-line  Sum-of-the-years   Double-declining  Activity method

2019  ($6,600/12*9)    5/12 * $33,000     40% *$36,000    8/120 * $33,000

  =       $4,950             = $13,750               = $14,400           = $2,200

2020 = ($6,600/12*12) 4/12 * $33,000  40% *$21,600    20/120 * $33,000

 =        $6,600             = $11,000              = $8,640             =  $5,500

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Cost of delivery truck = $36,000

Purchase date = April 1, 2019

Estimated useful life = 5 years or 120,000 miles

Residual value = $3,000

Depreciable amount = $33,000 ($36,000 - $3,000)

Annual straight-line depreciation expense = $6,60 ($33,000/5)

2020 = ($6,600/12*12) 4/12 * $33,000  40% *$25,200    20/120 * $33,000

 =        $6,600             = $11,000              = $10,080                  =  $5,500

a) The straight-line method divides the depreciable amount by the number of useful life to get an amount that is charged every year.

b) Sum of the years digit method sums the years and uses the denominator to apportion the depreciable amount, with the first year having the largest number as numerator.

c) Double-declining method doubles the straight-line rate and depreciates on declining value of the asset.  It apportions more cost in the earlier years.  For the last year, consideration is then given to the salvage value because the asset cannot be depreciated more than its depreciable amount.

d) Activity method calculates the depreciation expense based on the activity usage.

the answer is true.  i do believe this is the answer because of the amount of wrecks people get into each year.  if you double this with avoiding those so said wrecks, that would make you a "skilled" driver.

according to the song of roland, the characteristics of an ideal knight are: loyalty to the king, skilled warriors and horseman, valiant, bold, courageous, strong and proud in battle. they should be determined to fulfil their duties and willing to die to make their people safe.
