Explanation / Answer

Depreciation cost per unit = $1.56 per mile

Explanation;

Cost of Bus = $260752

Salvage value = $8500

Expected miles to be driven = 161700 miles

Formula of depreciation is as follow;

Depreciation per mile = (Cost of Bus – Salvage value) / Total miles to be driven

Now let’s put the values in above given formula;

Depreciation cost per unit ($260752 – $8500) / 161700

= $1.56 per mile
