Fast Arrow Ltd. purchased a new bus on October 3, 2012, at a total cost of $ 130,000 each. Management is con – templating the merits of using the diminishing – balance or units – of – production methods of depreciation instead of the straight – line method, which it currently uses for other buses. e new bus has an estimated residual value of $ 10,000, and an estimated useful life of either three years or 300,000 km. Use of the bus will be sporadic so it could be much higher in some years than in other years. Assume the new bus is driven as follows: 15,000 km in 2012; 130,000 km in 2013; 65,000 km in 2014; and 90,000 km in 2015. Fast Arrow has an October 31 year end.

Instructions

( c) How does each di erent method of depreciation a ect the company’s cash ows?

( d) Which method do you recommend? Why?
