Answer:

Straight line Rate = 5 %

Double-declining-balance rate= 10%

Double-declining- Depreciation for the year= $1745

Straight Line Depreciation for the year = $ 772.5

Step-by-step explanation:

a. Double-declining-balance rate

The number of years of life gives us the rate of depreciation .

So life in years = 20

Straight line Rate = 100 %/20 = 5 %

Double-declining-balance rate= 2* Straight line Rate

= 2* 5= 10%

b. Depreciation expense for year

Depreciation expense for year= Double-declining-balance rate* Beginning period book value

= 10 % * ( 17200 + 250) = 10 % * 17450= $1745

Straight Line Depreciation for the year = Cost - Salvage Value / Life in yrs

= 17450 - 2000 / 20 = $ 772.5
