Reference no: EM13160304

Brainiac Company purchased a delivery truck for $30,000 on January 1, 2011.The truck has an expected salvage value of $2,000, and is expected to be driven 100,000 miles over its estimated useful life of 8 years.Actual miles driven were 15,000 in 2011 and 12,000 in 2012.

Instructions

(b) Assume that Brainiac uses the straight-line method.
(1) Prepare the journal entry to record 2011 depreciation.
(2) Show how the truck would be reported in the December 31, 2011, balance sheet.
