Explanation / Answer

BUS-3, Depreciation Expense per mile

Depreciation Expense per mile = (Cost – Salvage Value) / Actual Total Miles

= ($84300 - $7500 ) /128000 Miles

= $ 0.60 per mile

Accumulated Depreciation of Each Bus at December 31,2019

BUS 1==$56,400

BUS 2 = $90,160

BUS 3 = $37,200

BUS 1        

Straight Line Depreciation = ( Cost of the asset – Salvage Value ) / Usefull Life

                                      = ($99500 - $5500) /5 Years

                                      = $18800 per year

Accumulated Depreciation at December 31,2019 = $18800 x 3 Years =$56,400

Accumulated Depreciation at December 31,2019 = $90,160

BUS 3

Depreciation for 2018 = $28,000 Miles x $0.60 per mile = $16,800

Depreciation for 2019 = $34000 Miles x $0.60 per mile = $20,400

Accumulated Depreciation at December 31,2019 = $16800+$20400=$37,200

If Bus 3 was purchased on April 1 instead of January 1, Depreciation will be

Depreciation for 2017 = $46000 * 9/12 = $34,500 (For 9 Months)

Depreciation for 2018 = $27,600
