In recent years, Sarasota Transportation purchased three used buses. Because of frequent turnover in the accounting department, a different accountant selected the depreciation method for each bus, and various methods were selected. Information concerning the buses is summarized as follows.

Bus    Acquired         Cost Salvage      Value Useful        Life in Years        Depreciation Method
1         1/1/18               $ 99,300             $ 7,500              4                         Straight-line
2        1/1/18              126,000               11,500                4                    Declining-balance
3       1/1/19                  91,100             8,500                   4                      Units-of-activity


For the declining-balance method, the company uses the double-declining rate. For the units-of-activity method, total miles are expected to be 118,000. Actual miles of use in the first 3 years were 2019, 27,000; 2020, 34,500; and 2021, 32,500.
