Question

A machine with a cost of $85,000 has an estimated residual value of $5,000 and an estimated life of 5 years or 20,000 hours. What is the amount of depreciation for the second full year, using the double-declining-balance method?

Answer 1

The amount of depreciation for the second full year, using the double-declining-balance method is  $20,400.

What is the amount of depreciation in the second year?

Depreciation is a method used in expensing the value of an asset.

Double declining depreciation expense = [2 x (1/useful life of the asset)] x cost of the asset

Depreciation expense in year 1 = 2/5 x $85,000 = $34,000

Book value at the beginning of year 2 = $85,000 - $34,000 = $51,000

Depreciation expense in year 2 = 2/5 x $51,000 = $20,400
