Explanation
Straight-Line Depreciation with Full-Year Policy Steps:
- Calculate annual depreciation for first vehicle: 20% × 4,000.
- Calculate annual depreciation for second vehicle: 20% × 2,000.
- Apply full-year depreciation to first vehicle for 2020: $4,000.
- Apply full-year depreciation to second vehicle for 2020 (per policy): $2,000.
- Total depreciation: 2,000 = $6,000.
Why D is correct:
- Straight-line at 20% yields fixed annual amounts per asset; full-year rule in purchase year ensures $2,000 for the second vehicle despite June purchase.
Why the others are wrong:
- A: Ignores first vehicle's $4,000 depreciation.
- B: Ignores second vehicle's $2,000 depreciation.
- C: Applies half-year convention to second vehicle (4,000, violating full-year policy.
Final answer: D
