    Depreciation cost:

    2016: expected useful life

    Cost - salvage value X usage

    = 140,000

    24,300-700

    =5.93*28,000 = $166,101.69

    2017: expected useful life

    Cost - salvage value X usage

    = 140,000

    24,300-700

    =5.93*33,000 = $195,762.71

    Depreciation Expense:

    2016: (cost-salvage value) * actual activity performed

    total estimated useful life

    = (24,300-700) * 28,000

    140,000

    =$4,720

    2017: (cost-salvage value) * actual activity performed

    total estimated useful life

    = (24,300-700) * 33,000

    140,000

    =$5,562.86
