Depreciation cost per unit = (Cost - Salvage value) / Expected miles to be driven = (215150 - 7100) / 142500 1.46 per mile

Computation End of year

Year Units of activity x Depreciation cost / unit = Annual depreciation expense Accumulated depreciation Book value

2017 38500 x 1.46 = 56210 56210 158940

2018 31000 x 1.46 = 45260 101470 113680

2019 31000 x 1.46 = 45260 146730 68420

2020 42000 x 1.46 = 61320 208050 7100
