Equipment value = 136000* [830000/(54000 + 820000 + 136000)]

                                 = 136000* [830000/1010000]

                                  = 136000* .82178

                                  = 111762.38

Declining balance depreciation is calculated by following formula)

Depreciation = Depreciation rate * Book value of asset               

Depreciation rate = Accelerator * straight line rate

Straight line rate = 1/ useful life of asset in years

If asset cost is 111762 and its useful life is 4 years then straight line rate will be = ¼

= 0.25   

After that we need to calculate Depreciation rate which will be = 0.25*2= 0.5

Depreciation for the first year will be,  

Depreciation 1st year = 0.5*111762

= 55881

Option D is closest so option D is correct answer.
