Depreciation Expense  for 2019 is  $10,800 while Depreciation Expense for 2020 is $9,720

Rate of Depreciation = (Cost - Residual Value) ÷useful life  

                                = ($42,000 - $2,000) ÷ 150,000 miles  

                                 = $0.27

Depreciation Expense = Rate of Depreciation x unit of miles during the period

So,  

Depreciation Expense  for 2019 = $0.27 x 40, 000  

                                                =   $10,800

Depreciation Expense for 2020 = $0.27 x 36,000  

                                               = $9,720
