Question: Determining asset cost, recording first-year depreciation, and identifying depreciation results that meet management objectives On January 3, 2016, Speedway Delivery Service purchased a truck at a cost of $95,000. Before placing the truck in service, Speedway spent $4,000 painting it, $600 replacing tires, and $9,400 overhauling the engine. The truck should remain in service for five years and have a residual value of $10,000. The truck's annual mileage is expected to be 26,000 miles in each of the first four years and 19,750 miles in the fifth year-123,750 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, units-of-production, and double-declining-balance).
Requirements: 1. Prepare a depreciation schedule for each depreciation method, showing asset cost, depreciation expense, accumulated depreciation, and asset book value.
2. Speedway prepares financial statements using the depreciation method that reports the highest net income in the early years of asset use. Consider the first year that Speedway uses the truck. Identify the depreciation method that meets the company's objectives.
