Respuesta :

Answer:

The new bus is rolling stock asset

depreciation is $8,000

Explanation:

Rolling stock asset  in the U.S is a conveyance vehicle such a buses,vans ,locomotives,ferryboats and so on.

annual depreciation =(cost-salvage value)/useful life

cost of the new bus is $95,000

salvage value is $15,000

useful life is  10 years

yearly depreciation charge =($95,000-$15,000)/10 years

                                              =$8,000

Note that the $10,000 trade-in value is relevant when computing the cash payable to the car dealer,it is not deducted here since it forms part of asset cost.
