(100%/Useful life ) x 2 = (100%/10 years) x 2 = 20% | ||||
Calculation of depreciation expense for year 2019: | ||||
Year | Beginning Balance | Depreciation Rate | Depreciation expense (Beginning balance x Depreciation rate) | Closing Balance |
2018 | $1,24,000 | 20% | $24,800 | $99,200 |
2019 | $99,200 | 20% | $19,840 | $79,360 |
Therefore, the double-declining balance (DDB) depreciation expense in year 2019 should be $19,840. |
