    Answer: Cost of truck / expected useful life = 24,000 / (5 year * 12 months) = 400 dollar per month 400*8 = 3200 dollar

    Explanation:

    Considering no salvage value of the truck at the end of the 5-year period and need for 8 month period of depreciation (from May 1 till the end of the year) we use formula of straight line method: Cost of truck / expected useful life = 24,000 / (5 year * 12 months) = 400 dollar per month. And in order to find taken accumulated depreciation for 8 months of 2018: 400*8 = 3200 dollar. At the end of 2018 we should write off 3200 dollar from the value of truck.
