Working:
Annual depreciation rate = 100% / useful life = 100%/8 = 0.125
Double declining depreciation rate = 0.125 *2 = 0.25 or 25%
The computer equipment is purchased on November 2017 thus;
1st year dep = 450,000 * (25% * 2month/12months) = 18,750
2nd year dep upto 30th june: 431,250 * 25% * 6 months/12months = $53,907
