Homework SourseA medical practice purchases computer equipment that cost 15
A medical practice purchases computer equipment that cost $15,000 to be used for medical billing. In addition, the practice purchases billing software that cost $5,000. Both the computer equipment and the software are expected to have 3-year useful lives and no salvage value.
Please calculate the Three years of depreciation using straight-line, double declining balance, and sum-of-the-years digits.

** Note: By the end of the third year, the DDB method must take enough depreciation in total to have accumulated depreciation equal to the
Depreciable Base. Therefore the depreciation in the last year is computed by subtracting the accumulated depreciation at the end of the
second year from the depreciable base of $20,000

Solution
Solution:
Cost of computer equipment & Billing software = $15,000 + $5,000 = $20,000
Life = 3 Years
Depreciation rate (Straight Line) = 1/3 = 33.33%
Depreciation rate (Double Declining Balance) = 33.3333*2 = 66.67%
