    The depreciation expense for 2018: c. $25,375

    Explanation:

    Grover Corporation uses the units-of-production depreciation method. Depreciation expense is calculated by the following formula:

    Depreciation Expense = [ (Cost of asset - Salvage Value) / Life in Number of Units

    ] x Number of Units Produced = Depreciation Expense per unit x Number of Units Produced

    In the company,

    Depreciation Expense per mile = ($109,200-$4,200) / 120,000 = $0.875

    The truck was driven 29,000 miles in 2018, so the depreciation expense for 2018: $0.875 x 29,000 = $25,375
