The cost of an asset is $1,170,000?, and its residual value is $180,000. Estimated useful life of the asset is eight years. Calculate depreciation for the second year using the double-declining-balance method of depreciation.? (Do not round any intermediate? calculations, and round your final answer to the nearest? dollar.)
Ans. As per double declining method of depreciation, we calculate depreciation as under
Depreciation = 2*Staight line method percent*Book Value
Lets calculate depreciation for 1st year
Straight line depreciation rate = 100/8 = 12.5%
According to double declining method rate would be = 12.5%*2 = 25%
Book Value = $11,70,000
Depreciation for 1st year = $11,70,000*25% = $292500
Book for 2nd year = $11,70,000 - $2,92,500 = $8,77,500
Depreciation for 2nd year = $8,77,500*25% = $219,375
So the Depreciation for 2nd year = $219,375.
