(Learning Objective 3: Compute partial year depreciation, and select the best depreciation method) Assume that on September 30, 2020, EuroAir, an international airline based in Germany, purchased a Jumbo aircraft at a cost of €45,000,000 (€ is the symbol for the euro). EuroAir expects the plane to remain useful for four years (4,000,000 miles) and to have a residual value of €6,000,000. EuroAir will fly the plane 350,000 miles during the remainder of 2020. Compute EuroAir's depreciation on the plane for the year ended December 31, 2020, using the following methods: a. Straight-line b. Units-of-production c.
