### Depreciation Calculations
Mandeline Cosmetics purchased a company van for $50,000. The van is expected to have a residual value of $10,000 and a useful life of 5 years or 140,000 miles. Calculate the depreciation expense under three methods.
#### Miles driven for each of the five years:
- Year 1: 25,000 miles
- Year 2: 40,000 miles
- Year 3: 50,000 miles
- Year 4: 15,000 miles
- Year 5: 10,000 miles
#### Depreciation Expense
| Year | Straight-line Method | Units of Production Method | Double Declining Balance Method |
|------|----------------------|----------------------------|---------------------------------|
| 1 | | | |
| 2 | | | |
| 3 | | | |
| 4 | | | |
| 5 | | | |
| Total| | | |
### Explanation:
The table is designed to calculate and compare the depreciation expense of the van using three different methods:
- **Straight-line Method**: This method spreads the cost evenly over the useful life of the asset.
- **Units of Production Method**: This method calculates depreciation based on the actual usage of the asset, measured in miles driven.
- **Double Declining Balance Method**: This approach applies a higher depreciation rate in the early years of the asset's life.
Each row in the table represents a year, and columns represent the different depreciation methods. The total row will sum up the depreciation expenses over the five years.
