Declining Balance
The cost of the asset: $10,000.00
The salvage value: $800.00
The life of the asset: 4 years
Calculate the Depreciation Expense to the Nearest One Dollar at End of Year 2.
Solution
Since No depreciation rate is given it is assumed theat depreciation is calclucated based on double decling balance method
Hence depreciation Rate =1/4*2 =50%
Depreciation Exxpense at year 2 is $3750
| Carrying Value at the beginning | Depreciation | Carrying value at the End | |
| Year 1 | 10000 | 2500 | 7500 |
| Year 2 | 7500 | 3750 | 3750 |
