When this truck was acquired in 2018, the tractor-trailer rig had cost $350,000 and was expected to remain in service for 10 years or 1,000,000 miles. Its estimated residual value was $110,000. During 2018, the truck was driven 81,000 miles; during 2019,140,000 miles; and during 2020,170,000 miles. After the truck was driven 36,000 miles in 2021, the company traded in the Mack truck for a Freightliner truck with fair market value of $230,000. In addition to the trade-in of the Mack truck, Safety Truck Company paid cash of 28,000 for the Freightliner truck.
