    Option B, $80,040 (Nearest dollar)

    Solution:

    Given,

    Truck costs $320,000

    Expected to be driven 116,000 miles

    Truck is driven 29,000 miles

    To calculate depreciation should the business record under the units-of-production method,

    Depreciation per mile = $320,000 / $116,000

    = $2.75

    Depreciation for the first year = $2.75 x 29,000

    = $79,750 (Nearest dollar is the answer)
