Question: Determining asset cost, recording first-year depreciation, and identifying depreciation results that meet management objectives On January 2, 2016, On Time Delivery Service purchased a truck at a cost of $62,000. Before placing the truck in service, On Time spent $4,000 painting it, $2,500 replacing tires, and $1,500 overhauling the engine. The truck should remain in service for five years and have a residual value of $5,000. The truck's annual mileage is expected to be 28,000 miles in each of the first four years and 18,000 miles in the fifth year-130,000 miles in total. In deciding which depreciation method to use, Jacob Nealy, the general manager, requests a depreciation schedule for each of the depreciation methods (straight-line, unitsof-production, and double-declining-balance).
