    Whippet Bus lines should depreciate the bus $0.50 for every mile driven.

    Explanation:

    To determine the amount of money that Whippet Bus should depreciate for every mile driven, we first must find the total depreciable value of the bus:

    depreciable value = purchase cost - salvage value = $101,000 - $8,000 = $93,000

    Now we divide the depreciable value by the expected useful life of the bus measured in miles:

    cost per unit of activity = $93,000 / 186,000 miles = $0.50 per mile
