    Instructions are listed below.

    Explanation:

    Giving the following information:

    Whippet Bus Lines uses the units-of-activity method in depreciating its buses. One bus was purchased on January 1, 2017, for $100,000. Over its 4-year useful life, the bus is expected to be driven 160,000 miles. Salvage value is expected to be $8,000.

    Compute the depreciation cost per unit.

    Depreciation per unit = (100,000 - 8,000) / 160,000 = $0.575 per mile.

    Prepare a depreciation schedule assuming actual mileage was: 2017, 40,000; 2018, 52,000; 2019, 41,000; and 2020, 27,000.

    Annual depreciation = [ (original cost - salvage value) / useful life of production in units]*units produced

    2017 = 0.575*40,000 = 23,000

    2018 = 0.575*52,000 = 29,900

    2019 = 0.575*41,000 = 23,575

    2020 = 0.575*27,000 = 15,525
