2017 = $45,570
b.

Explanation:
Straight line method
Straight line method charges a fixed amount of depreciation
Depreciation Charge = (Cost - Salvage Value) ÷ Estimated useful life
2016
Depreciation Charge = $45,570
2017
Depreciation Charge = $45,570
Double declining method
Double declining method charges a higher amount of depreciation at the early years and less in the later years
Depreciation Charge = 2 x SLDP x BVSLDP
2016
Depreciation Charge = 2 x 16.67 % x $306,180 = $102,080
2017
Depreciation Charge = 2 x 16.67 % x ($306,180 - $102,080) = $68,014
