Answer:
Depreciation expense - year 3 = $5184
Accumulated depreciation - Year 3 = 23040 + 5184 = $28224
Explanation:
The Financial reporting standards state that the cost of a fixed asset should include the purchase cost and all the costs necessary to bring the asset to the place and in the condition necessary for its use as intended by the management. Thus, the transportation cost will be capitalized as in FOB Shipping Point, the buyer pays for the transportation.
Cost of office equipment = 34000 + 2000 = $36000
Th double declining balance method is an accelerated method to charge depreciation in which higher depreciation is charged in the initial years and lower in the later years.
The formula for depreciation expense under this method is,
Depreciation expense = 2 * [(Asset cost - Accumulated depreciation)/Estimated useful life of the asset]
Depreciation expense - year 1= 2 * [(36000 - 0) / 5
Depreciation expense - year 1 = $14400
Depreciation expense - year 2 = 2 * [(36000 - 14400) / 5]
Depreciation expense - year 2 = $8640
Accumulated depreciation - year 2 = 14400 + 8640 = 23040
Depreciation expense - year 3 = 2 * [(36000 - 23040) / 5]
Depreciation expense - year 3 = $5184
Accumulated depreciation - Year 3 = 23040 + 5184 = $28224
