Your company has purchased 10 new trucks for $20,000 each for the service department. The controller has determined that the trucks will be sold after 10 years with a salvage value of about 10%. The county assessor lists 7 years as the useful life of these trucks. For purposes of financial statement reporting, the company will carry these on the books for 5 years. The controller wants these tracked with other vehicles in the VEH group.
You need information from the controller in order to set up accounting for these fixed assets.
What information will be entered into the books for these trucks?
