"You purchase a machine. It costs $47,000 to purchase, $8,000 to install, and $6,000 for its freight with a 7-year life. Use the DDB method (multiplier 2) switching to straight line depreciation if appropriate. Salvage value is $13,000. Determine the book value at the end of year 3."
Total Cost of product = $47,000 + $8,000 + $6,000 = $61,000
Salvage Value = $13,000
Life of the Asset = 7 year
Accumulated Depreciation = (Cost of Asset - Salvage Value / Life of the Asset ) X No. of Years
= ($61,000 - $13,000 / 7 ) X 3
= $20,571.42
Net Book Value at the end of year 3 = Original Cost - Accumulated Depreciation
= $61,000 - $20,571.42
= $40,428.58 = ~ $40,428
