    Units of activity will be started the same way as the straight-line method in that you take the cost minus the salvage value to get the depreciable base then divide that number by the total miles to be driven over the life of the asset to get the depreciable rate per mile. Then for each year take that number times the miles driven to get your depreciation expense for the year.
