Sandhill Chemicals Company acquires a delivery truck at a cost of $30,800 on January 1, 2022. The truck is expected to have a salvage value of $3,700 at the end of its 4-year useful life. Compute annual depreciation for the first and second years using the straight-line method.

$6,775

Explanation:

The computation of the depreciation expense using the straight line method is shown below:

Straight-line method:

= (Original cost - residual value) ÷ (useful life)

= ($30,800 - $3,700) ÷ (4 years)

= ($27,100) ÷ (4 years)  

= $6,775

In this method, the depreciation is same for all the remaining useful life

Therefore, in the first and second year the same depreciation expense is to be charged i.e $6,775
