Solution

To calculate the depreciation rate using activity-based depreciation, you need to follow these steps:

  1. Subtract the residual value from the initial cost of the asset. In this case, 24,00024,000 - 4,000 = $20,000. This is the total amount that will be depreciated over the life of the asset.

  2. Divide the total depreciation by the total expected use of the asset. In this case, 20,000/100,000miles=20,000 / 100,000 miles = 0.20 per mile.

So, the depreciation rate using activity-based depreciation is $0.20 per mile.
