Answer:

straight line depreciation

depreciable value = $246,000 - $27,000 = $219,000

depreciation rate per year = $219,000 / 6 = $36,500

double-declining balance

depreciation rate year 1 = 2 x 1/6 x $246,000 = $82,000

depreciation rate year 2 = 2 x 1/6 x $164,000 = $54,667

depreciation rate year 3 = 2 x 1/6 x $109,333 = $36,444

depreciation rate year 4 = 2 x 1/6 x $72,889 = $24,296

depreciation rate year 5 = 2 x 1/6 x $48,593 = $16,198

depreciation rate year 6 = $32,395 - $27,000 = $5,395

units of activity

depreciable value = $246,000 - $27,000 = $219,000

depreciation rate per unit = $219,000 / 12,000 = $18.25 per unit

depreciation rate year 1 = $18.25 x 2,800 = $51,100

depreciation rate year 2 = $18.25 x 1,900 = $34,675

depreciation rate year 3 = $18.25 x 2,000 = $36,500

depreciation rate year 4 = $18.25 x 2,000 = $36,500

depreciation rate year 5 = $18.25 x 1,800 = $32,850

depreciation rate year 6 = $18.25 - 1,500 = $27,375
