Beginning book value | 90000 | |
salvage value | 10000 | |
net value | 80000 | |
useful life (years) | 8 | |
Regular Depreciation rate | 12.5% | |
depreciation rate = | 1/useful life*100 | |
= | 1/8*100 | |
= | 12.5 | % |
Double - declining balance formula = 2*cost of the asset *depreciation rate | ||
Here ,it will be 2*12.5% = | 0.25 | |
= | 25% | |
Depreciation for 2017 | ||
Beginning book value | 90000 | |
Depreciation expenses | 11250 | (90000*25%*6/12) |
