    The depreciation expense for the Year 2 amounts to $4,070

    Explanation:

    The method of unit of production is the depreciation method which computes the value of the asset over time.

    The depreciation expense for the Year 2 is computed using the method of units of production as:

    Depreciation expense = [ (Truck cost - Salvage value) / Estimated miles] * Miles driven during year

    where

    Miles driven during year is 37,000

    Truck cost is $29,000

    Salvage value is $7,000

    Estimated miles is 200,000 miles

    So, putting the values above:

    Depreciation expense = [ ($29,000 - $7,000) / 200,000] * 37,000

    Depreciation expense = [$22,000 / 200,000] * 37,000

    Depreciation expense = $0.11 * 37,000

    Depreciation expense = $4,070
