    Depreciation Year 1 = $1,180

    Depreciation Year 2 = $4,160

    Explanation:

    The computation of depreciation expense activity-based method using is shown below:-

    Depreciation expense = (Cost - Salvage value) : Total expected mileage to be used * Actual mileage used

    By using above formula we can calculate the Depreciation Year 1 and Depreciation Year 2 which is shown below:-

    Depreciation Year 1 = ($26,000 - $2,000) : $120,000 * $5,900

    = $24,000 : $120,000 * $5,900

    = $1,180

    Depreciation Year 2 = ($26,000 - $2,000) : $120,000 * $20,800

    = $24,000 : $120,000 * $20,800

    = $4,160
