ABC Moving and Storage acquired a new truck for $100,000, paying $20,000 cash and signing a promissory note for the balance. According to the bill of sale, ABC also paid cash for sales tax of 8%, plus registration, tags and delivery fees of $400. The new truck is estimated to have a 5-year economic life and a residual (salvage) value of $8,400. ABC uses straight-line depreciation. Due to delays, the truck was not placed in service until April 1, 2020. ABC has a December 31 fiscal year.

    total cost of the truck = $100,000 (purchase price) + $8,000 (sales tax) + $400 (registration and delivery fees) = $108,400

    residual value = $8,400

    depreciation per year = ($108,400 - $8,400) x 1/5 = $20,000

    the truck was placed in service in April 1, 2020, 9/12
