Question

A machine with a cost of $100,000 has an estimated residual value of $8,000 and an estimated life of 7 years or 21,000 hours. What is the amount of depreciation for the second full year, using the double-declining-balance method

Answer 1

$20,408.16

Step-by-step explanation:

Depreciation expense using the double declining method = Depreciation factor x cost of the asset

Depreciation factor = 2 x (1/useful life) = 2/7

1st year= 2/7 x 100,000 = 28,571.43

book value = 100,000 - 28,571.43 = 71,428.57

2nd year = 2/7 x 71,428.57 = $20,408.16
