A small business purchases some office furniture for $43000 and will sell it for an estimated $6000 in 5 years. (Replace them with new furniture)
3. Calculate the 4th year depreciation amount, using DDB depreciation.
Rate of depreciation using Double Declining Balance:
Rate of Depreciation under Straight Line method = 1 / Life time = 1 / 5 = 20.00%
Rate of Depreciation under Double Declining Balnce Method = 2 * Rate under Straight Line
= 2 * 20.00%
= 40.00%
Year | Opening Balance | Depreciation | Closing Balance |
1 | $ 43,000.00 | $ 17,200.00 | $ 25,800.00 |
2 | $ 25,800.00 | $ 10,320.00 | $ 15,480.00 |
3 | $ 15,480.00 | $ 6,192.00 | $ 9,288.00 |
4 | $ 9,288.00 | $ 3,288.00 | $ 6,000.00 |
The Written down balance must be restricted to salvage value.
Year 4 depreciation is $ 3,288
