Answer:
Depreciation Expense 2021= $1,000
Depreciation Expense 2022= $4,000
Explanation:
Calculation for depreciation expense using the straight-line method for 2021 and 2022
Using this formula
Depreciation = ( Cost − Residual Value )/
Useful Life
Where,
Cost of Truck on October 1,2021= $25,600
Residual Value = $1,600
Useful life of truck = 6 years service life
Let plug in the formula
2021
Depreciation Expense = $25,600 - $1,600 / 6 years * 3/12
Depreciation Expense 2021= $1,000
Note October 1 to 31 December 2021 will give us 3 months
2022
Depreciation Expense=$25,600 - $1,600 / 6 years
Depreciation Expense 2022= $4,000
Therefore the Depreciation Expense for 2021 will be $1,000 while the Depreciation Expense for 2022 will be $4,000
