How would I journalize this using the straight-line depreciation method?

Thomas Company 2006
Dec 31-Discarded a delivery truck that was purchased on January 1, 2002. The truck cost $33,00. It was depreciated based on a 6-year useful life with a $3,000 salvage value.

To compute the depreciation Expense using the Straight Line method (SL) is:

(Cost - Salvage Value)/Useful Life = Depreciation Expense per year.

Next you need to take your Depreciation Expense per year X Number of Years.
