    2014 : 4,905

    2015 : 8,505

    Explanation:

    First, we will calculate the amount subject to depreciation

    acquisition - salvage

    53,950 - 4,900 = 49,050

    Now we will divide by the total millage and multiply by the miles driven during each year.

    Notice we are not allowed to round up, the calculation of a rate will do round up, so we need to calculate in a single step.

    Depreciation for 2014

    49,050 x (10,900/109,000) = 4,905

    Depreciation for 2015

    49,050 x (18,900/109,000) = 8,505
