Answer:
Explanation:
Double Declining balance method is the form of accelerated depreciation method, in which value of asset depreciated twice by the rate which is charged in straight line method.
Depreciable Cost = Cost of Asset - Residual value
Depreciable Cost = $46,250 - $2,800 = $43,450
Double-declining-balance rate = [ 2 x ( Cost of Asset - Residual value ) / Useful life ] / Cost of Asset
Double-declining-balance rate = [ 2 x $46250 / 5 ] / $46,250 = 40%
Double Declining balance depreciation for the first year = $46,250 x 40% = $18,500
