Corales Company acquires a delivery truck at a cost of 80000
Corales Company acquires a delivery truck at a cost of $80,000. The truck is expected to have a salvage value of $7,000 at the end of its 5-year useful life. Assuming the declining-balance depreciation rate is double the straight-line rate, compute annual depreciation for the first and second years under the declining-balance method.
Year 1
Year 2
| Year 1 | Year 2 | |||
| Annual depreciation expense | $
| $

Solution
Double decline rate = 100/5*2 = 40%
Calculate depreciation expense :
| Year 1 | Year 2 | |
| Annual Depreciation expense | 80000*40% = 32000 | 80000*60%*40% = 19200 |
