Answer:
1. True
Explanation:
The computation of the depreciation for 1998 under the double declining balance method is shown below:
First we have to find the depreciation rate which is
= One ÷ useful life
= 1 ÷ 4
= 25%
Now the rate is double So, 50%
In year 1, the original cost is $60,000, so the depreciation is $7,500 after applying the 50% depreciation rate and the 3 months
And, in year 2, the depreciation expense is
= ($60,000 - $7,500) × 50%
= $26,250
