Annual Depreciation Expenses = 45000/5 = 9000

Accumulated Depreciation till Jan 2012 = 9000*3 = 27000

Depreciation Expenses upto june 30 = 9000*6/12 = 4500

Accumulated Depreciation till june 30 2012 = 27000 + 4500 = 31500

delivery truck

Depreciation Expenses upto Dec 31 = (33000-3000)/6 = 5000

Accumulated Depreciation till dec 31, 2012 = 5000*5 = 25000
