Please show all steps and how you got each number
CALCULATION OF THE DEPRECIATION AS PER DOUBLE DECLINE METHOD | |||
Purchase Cost of Machine | $ 32,000 | ||
Useful Life = | 5 years | ||
Depreciation per year = | $ 6,400 | ||
(Purchase price / Useful life) | |||
CALCULATION OF THE RATE OF DEPRECIATION | |||
Rate of Depreciation = | $ 6,400 / $ 32,000 | ||
(Depreication / Purchase price ) | |||
Rate of Depreciation = | 0.20 or 20% | ||
Double decline deprection rate = 20% * 2 = | 40% | ||
Purchase Value of the Machine | $ 32,000 | ||
Less: Depreciation for the year 2015 @ 40% | $ 12,800 | ||
Book Value of the Machine at Year end 2015 | $ 19,200 | ||
Book Value of the Machine at opening of 2016 | $ 19,200 | ||
Less: Depreciation for the year 2016 @ 40% | $ 7,680 | ||
Book Value of the Machine at Year end 2016 | $ 11,520 | ||
Book value of the opening of 2017 = | $ 11,520 | ||
Answer = $ 11,520 | |||
