Answer-a)- Depreciation expense- Year 2006 = $4000.

Year 2007 = $4000.

Year 2008 = $4000.

Explanation- Straight line Method- Annual Depreciation expense

= (Cost of asset- Salvage value of asset)/No. of useful life (years)

= ($43200 - $3200)/10 years

= $40000/10 years

= $4000

Where- Cost of equipment = Purchase price of equipment+ Shipping & installation

= $42000+$1200

= $43200

b)- Depreciation expense- Year 2006 = $8640.

Year 2007 = $6912.

Year 2008 = $5530.

Explanation- Double Declining balance depreciation is calculated using the following formula=

Depreciation = Depreciation Rate * Book Value of Asset

Depreciation rate is given by the following formula:

Depreciation Rate = Accelerator *Straight Line Rate

Straight-line Depreciation Rate = 1/10 = 0.10 = 10%
Declining Balance Rate = 2*10% = 20%

Depreciation for Year 2006 = $43200*20% = $8640

Book value at the end of Year 2006 = $43200 - $8640 = $34560

Depreciation for Year 2007 = $34560*20% = $6912

Book value at the end of Year 2007 =$34560 - $6912 = $27648

Depreciation for Year 2008 = $27648*20% = $5530

Book value at the end of Year 2008 = $27648 - $5530 = $22118

Where- Cost of equipment = Purchase price of equipment+ Shipping & installation

= $42000+$1200

= $43200

c)- Book value of the equipment at the end of 2008 under straight line method = Cost of equipment –Accumulated depreciation on Year 2008

= $43200 - $12000

= $31200

Book value of the equipment at the end of 2008 under Double Declining balance method = $22118
