Oriole Arrow Ltd. purchased a new bus on October 1, 2024, at a total cost of $170,867. Management is considering the merits of using the diminishing-balance or units-of-production methods of depreciation instead of the straight-line method, which it currently uses for its other buses. The new bus has an estimated residual value of $17,000, and an estimated useful life of either four years or 301,700 km. Use of the bus will be sporadic so it could be much higher in some years than in others. Assume the new bus is driven as follows: 7,300 km in 2024; 100,400 km in 2025; 61,600 km in 2026; 96,400 km in 2027; and 36,000 km in 2028. Oriole Arrow has an October 31 year end.
