    A. $57,000

    B. Depreciation rate per mile is $0.19

    C. Depreciation is $14,630

    Explanation:

    a. cost of the truck less the residual value.

    Cost of the truck $69,000

    Less: Residual value $12,000

    $57,000

    b. Depreciation rate per mile is computed by dividing cost of the truck less the residual value over the estimated useful life.

    $57,000 / 300,000 miles = $0.19

    c. Units-of-activity depreciation for the year is computed by multiplying miles driven for the year by depreciation rate per mile.

    77,000 miles x $0.19 = $14,630
