Using double-declining-balance depreciation, what the amount of depreciation expense and the amount of accumulated depreciation, respectively, that would appear on the December 31, Year 3 financial statements

Answer 1

$716 and $12,300

Step-by-step explanation:

Original Cost = $16,000 + $2,100

Original Cost = $18,100

Double decline rate = 100/5*2

Double decline rate = 40%

First Year Depreciation = $18,100*40%

First Year Depreciation = $7,240

Second Year Depreciation = $18,100*60%*40%

Second Year Depreciation = $18,100*0.60*0.40

Second Year Depreciation = $4,344

Third Year Depreciation = ($18,100 - $7,240 - $4,344 -$5,800)

Third Year Depreciation = $716

Accumulated Depreciation = $7,240 + $4,344 + $716

Accumulated Depreciation = $12,300
