The truck will have a useful life of 10 years and a disposal value of $7,500. (a) Using straight-line depreciation, calculate the yearly depreciation of the truck. (b) How much could you depreciate in Year 1? Step 1: Subtract the disposal value from the cost of the truck: $45,000 - $7,500 = $37,500 to be depreciated Step 2: Divide the amount to be depreciated by the useful life of the asset: $37,500 ÷ 10 = $3,750 per year Calculate depreciation in Year 1 (for 10 months, March 1 to December 31): $3,750 x 10/12 = $3,125 a) b)

Copyright © by The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved.Glencoe Accounting Question 2 Why would a corporation choose to use an accelerated depreciation system such as declining-balance depreciation instead of straight-line depreciation? An accelerated depreciation schedule allows the corporation to take a higher expense early in the life of the asset. Since money today is more desirable than money one year from now, it allows the corporation to realize tax benefits early.
