(Round answer to 2 decimal places, e.g. 0.50.) Depreciation cost per unit Prepare a depreciation schedule assuming actual mileage was: 2017, 27,300; 2018, 61,000; 2019, 43,000; and 2020, 25,000. (Round cost per unit to 2 decimal places, e.g. 15.25 and all other answers to 0 decimal places, e.g. 5,275.) per mile Computation End of Year Units of Activi Depreciation Cost /Unit Annual Depreciation Expense Accumulated Depreciation Book Value Year 2017 2018 2019 2020 Question Attempts: 0 of 3 used
