A truck was acquired on July 1, 2008, at a cost of $216,000. The truck had a six-year useful life andan estimated salvage value of $24,000. The straight-line method of depreciation was used. On January1, 2011, the truck was repaired at a cost of $20,000, which extended the useful life of the truck for anadditional two years beyond that originally estimated (salvage value is still estimated at $24,000). Incomputing depreciation for annual adjustment purposes, the expense is calculated for each month theasset is owned.Required:Prepare the appropriate entries for January 1, 2011, and December 31, 2011.
