The truck has an expected salvage value of $2,100, and is expected to be driven 106,000 miles over its estimated useful life of 10 years. Actual miles driven were 15,300 in 2017 and 13,400 in 2018. Correct answer. Your answer is correct. Calculate depreciation expense per mile under units-of-activity method. (Round answer to 2 decimal places, e.g. 0.52.) Depreciation expense $Entry field with correct answer .25 per mile SHOW LIST OF ACCOUNTS SHOW SOLUTION SHOW ANSWER LINK TO TEXT Correct answer. Your answer is correct. Compute depreciation expense for 2017 and 2018 using (1) the straight-line method, (2) the units-of-activity method, and (3) the double-declining-balance method. (Round depreciation cost per unit to 2 decimal places, e.g. 0.50 and depreciation rate to 0 decimal places, e.g. 15%. Round final answers to 0 decimal places, e.g. 2,125.)
