Blossom Chemicals Company acquires a delivery truck at a cost of $32,800 on January 1, 2022. The truck is expected to have a salvage value of $4,200 at the end of its 4-year useful life. Assuming the declining-balance depreciation rate is double the straight-line rate, compute annual depreciation for the first and second years under the declining-balance method.

Sagot :

Answer:

$16400

$8200

Explanation:

Depreciation expense using the double declining method = Depreciation factor x cost of the asset

Depreciation factor = 2 x (1/useful life)  

Depreciation factor = 2/4 = 0.5

Depreciation expense in year 1 = 0.5 x $32,800 = $16,400

Book value at the beginning of year 2 =  $32,800 - $16,400 = $16400

Depreciation expense in year 2 = 0.5 x $16,400= $8200
