I need explanations for the calculations
On Jan. 1, 2017, Keeping Cats Clean, Inc., purchased a new machine to make high-end kitty litter boxes. The machine cost $125,000 and has a useful life of 5 years, or 480,000 boxes manufactured. It’s expected to have a residual value of $5,000. Please fill in the blanks in the table below, assuming that 120,000 boxes are manufactured in 2017 and 100,000 boxes are manufactured in 2018. NOTE THAT YOU ARE ASKED FOR THE AMOUNTS FOR 2018, the SECOND year of depreciation.

Straight line
Depreciation expense per year = ( Initial cost - salvage value ) useful life
Depreciation expense per year = ( $ 125,000 - $ 5000 ) 5 years
Depreciation expense per year = $ 24,000
Accumulated Depreciation as of 12/31/18 = $ 48,000
Net Book (Carrying) Value as of 12/31/18 = ( $ 125,000 - $ 48,000)
Net Book (Carrying) Value as of 12/31/18 = $ 77,000

Units of Production
Depreciation per unit = ( Cost - salvage value) Estimated useful life in units
Depreciation per unit = ( $ 125,000 - $ 5000) $ 480,000
Depreciation per unit = $ 0.25
Depreciation in year 2017 = $ 0.25 x 120,000
Depreciation in year 2017 = $ 30,000
Depreciation in year 2018 = $ 0.25 x 100,000
Depreciation in year 2018 = $ 25,000
Accumulated Depreciation as of 12/31/18 = $ 55,000
Net Book (Carrying) Value as of 12/31/18 = $ 125,000 - $ 55,000
Net Book (Carrying) Value as of 12/31/18 = $ 70,000

Double-Declining Balance
DDB rate = ( 1 useful life ) x 2
DDB rate = ( 1 5 ) x 2
DDB rate = 40%
Depreciation expense in year 1 = 0.40 x $ 125,000
Depreciation expense in year 1 = $ 50,000
Book value of asset at end of year 1 = $ 75,000
Depreciation expense in year 2017 = 0.40 x $ 75,000
Depreciation expense in year 2018 = $ 30,000
Accumulated Depreciation as of 12/31/18 = $ 80,000
Net Book (Carrying) Value as of 12/31/18 = $ 45,000
