Calculate depreciation expense for 2014 and 2015 to the nearest month using the straight-line method, and the double-declining-balance method. Ludwig Inc. has a December 31 year-end. Round final calculations to the nearest dollar. For simplicity, assume the truck is depreciated as an individual item and will not be broken down into its parts and depreciated.
