What is the depreciation deduction, using the declining balance (DB) method with a 200% DB ratio, associated with the third year for an asset that cost $35,000 and has an estimated MV of $9,000 at the end of its seven-year useful life? Express your answer in terms of dollars and cents, rounded to the nearest cent (e.g., 1234.56).
Straight line method (SLM) depreciation rate = 1 / Useful life = 1/7
200% DB depreciation rate = 2 x SLM rate = 2 x (1/7) = 2/7
200% DB Depreciation schedule is as follows. This method ignores MV at end of project.
Year | Year-Beginning Book Value ($) | 200% DB Depreciation Rate | Annual Depreciation ($) | Year-End Book Value ($) |
1 | 35,000.00 | 2/7 | 10,000.00 | 25,000.00 |
2 | 25,000.00 | 2/7 | 7,142.86 | 17,857.14 |
3 | 17,857.14 | 2/7 | 5,102.04 | 12,755.10 |
4 | 12,755.10 | 2/7 | 3,644.31 | 9,110.79 |
5 | 9,110.79 | 2/7 | 2,603.08 | 6,507.71 |
6 | 6,507.71 | 2/7 | 1,859.34 | 4,648.36 |
7 | 4,648.36 | 2/7 | 1,328.10 | 3,320.26 |
Depreciation deduction in year 3 = $5,102.04
