The computation of the depreciation for each of the five years under the Double-declining-balance method is as follows:
Year Depreciation Expense
Year 1 $74,000 ($185,000 x 40%)
Year 2 $44,400 ($111,000 x 40%)
Year 3 $26,640 ($66,600 x 40%)
Year 4 $15,984 ($39,960 x 40%)
Year 5 $3,976 ($23,976 - $20,000)
Data and Calculations:
Cost of Equipment = $185,000
Residual value = $20,000
Depreciable amount = $165,000 ($185,000 - $20,000)
Estimated useful life = 5 years
Depreciation rate = 40% (100/5 x 2)
Depreciation for the five years:
Year 1 = $74,000 ($185,000 x 40%)
Reduced balance = $111,000 ($185,000 - $74,000)
Year 2 = $44,400 ($111,000 x 40%)
Reduced balance = $66,600 ($111,000 - $44,400)
Year 3 = $26,640 ($66,600 x 40%)
Reduced balance = $39,960 ($66,600 - $26,640)
Year 4 = $15,984 ($39,960 x 40%)
Reduced balance = $23,976 ($39,960 - $15,984)
Year 5 = $3,976 ($23,976 - $20,000)
Thus, the accumulated depreciation at the end of year 5 is $165,000.
