Explanation / Answer

Annual depreciation ( Straight line method ) = [ Cost of the asset - Salvage value ] / Useful life of a the asset

Given,

   Cost of the asset ( truck ) = $30200

   salvage value = $ 2800

Useful life of the asset = 5 years

Annual depreciation = [ $30200 - $ 2800 ] / 5 = 5480

1st year - $5480

2nd year - $5480

Under Straight line method , depreciation is the same in each year , Depreciation is $ 5480 for both 1st and 2nd year.
