    2021 Depreciation expense is $528

    2022 Depreciation expense is $2,136

    Explanation:

    Depreciation is the systematic allocation of the cost of an asset to the income statement over the estimated useful life of that asset.

    It is determined as the depreciable value of the asset over the estimated useful life of the asset where the depreciable value is the difference between the cost and salvage value of the asset.

    Depreciable value = $18,500 - $1,700

    = $16,800

    Depreciation expense using the activity-based method for

    2021

    = 4,400/140,000 * $16,800

    = $528

    2022

    = 17,800/140,000 * $16,800

    = $2,136
