Answer to Requirement 1:
Double Declining Depreciation Rate = 2 * Straight Line
Depreciation Rate
Straight Line Depreciation Rate = 1 / Useful Life
Straight Line Depreciation Rate = 1/ 4 = 25%
Double Declining Depreciation Rate = 2 * 25% = 50%
Depreciation for Year 1 = $39,700 * 50%
Depreciation for Year 1 = $19,850
Book Value at the end of Year 1 = $39,700 - $19,850
Book Value at the end of Year 1 = $19,850
Depreciation for Year 2 = $19,850 * 50%
Depreciation for Year 2 = $9,925
Book Value at the end of Year 2 = $19,850 - $9,925
Book Value at the end of Year 2 = $9,925
Depreciation for Year 3 = $9,925 * 50%
Depreciation for Year 3 = $4,963
Book Value at the end of Year 3 = $9,925 - $4,963
Book Value at the end of Year 3 = $4,962
Depreciation for Year 4 = $4,962 - $3,700
Depreciation for Year 4 = $1,262
Total Accumulated Depreciation = $19,850 + $9,925 + $4,963 +
$1,262
Total Accumulated Depreciation = $36,000
