| Dec. | 31 | Recorded annual straight-line depreciation on the truck. | 
Solution
1-a. depreciation for year 2017
Total cost = $26,650
Less accumulated depreciation (from 2016) = 4870
[($26,650 - $2,300) / 5 years]
Book value = 21780
Less : revised salvage value = $2,700
Remaining cost to be depreciated =19080
Years of life remaining = 3
Total depreciation for 2017 [$19080 / 3] = $6360
Note:- Years of life remaining :
Total estimated useful life changed to 4 years = 4
less: One year used in 2017 = 1
Years of life remaining = 3
1-b Depreciation expense (for 2016) = 4870
Depreciation expense (for 2017) =$6360
Depreciation expense (for 2018) = $6360
Accumulated depreciation 12/31/2018 = $17590
Book value of truck at 12/31/2018
Total cost =$26,650
Less: Accumulated depreciation =$17590
Book value 12/31/2018 = $9060
less: sale of truck = $5,400
loss for sale of Truck on December, 2018 = $3660
