2) double-declining-balance
1.
Straight line method:
Assuming the year ends on 31st december so,
for 2016:
Cost =$145800
Year= 3
Salvage value= 5400
Depreciation for 2016 for 7months from June 2016 to december 2016= (145800-5400)/3*7/12= $27300
Depreciation for 2017= (145800-5400)/3= $46800
Double declining method:
Cost on May 2016
Depreciation percentage= (145800-5400)/3= $46800
=46800/145800*100= 32.10%
Depreciation for the year 2016= 145800*32.1%*7/12= $27300
WDV on 31st December 2016= $145800-$27300= $118500
Depreciation for 2017= $ 118500*32.1%=$38039
