marissa [1.9K]

Answer:

to calculate depreciation using the sum-of-the-years'-digits method:

n(n+1) divided by 2 = [12(13)] / 2 = 78

depreciable value = cost - salvage value = $469,000 - $40,000 = $429,000

  1. depreciation year 1 = 12/78 x $429,000 = $66,000
  2. depreciation year 2 = 11/78 x $429,000 = $60,500
  3. depreciation year 3 = 10/78 x $429,000 = $55,000

the formula used to calculate depreciation using the double-declining-balance method is:

2 x cost of the asset x depreciation rate

  1. depreciation year 1 = 2 x $469,000 x 1/12 = $78,167
  2. depreciation year 2 = 2 x ($469,000 - $78,167) x 1/12 = $65,139
  3. depreciation year 3 = 2 x ($390,833 - $65,139) x 1/12 = $54,282
