Calculate the amount of depreciation expense for 2015


On January 1, 2013, ABC Company purchased a truck for $75,000. The truck was estimated to last five years with a salvage value of $10,000.

1) Prepare the proper entries in 2014 relating to the truck. Ignore income taxes.

2) In December 2015, it was determined that the truck was going to last a total of 15 years and have a salvage value of $4,000. Calculate the amount of depreciation expense for 2015.
