    Accounting 111 Question. Only first portion
    Finx, Inc. purchased a truck for $35,000. The truck is expected to be driven 15,000 miles per year over a five-year period and then sold for approximately $5,000.

    a.

    Determine depreciation for the first year of the truck's useful life by the straight-line method if the truck is actually driven 16,000 miles. (Omit the "$" sign in your response.)

    Straight-line depreciation $

    b.

    Determine depreciation for the first year of the truck's useful life by the units-of-output method if the truck is actually driven 16,000 miles. (Omit the "$" sign in your response.)

    Units-of-output depreciation $ ( I did figure out this part which is: $6400)

    Thank you again for your help. Do you think I should use the following formula:

    Depreciation = Cost − Salvage Value / Life in Number of Periods
