Kansas Enterprises purchased equipment for $60,000 on January 1, 2021. The equipment is expected to have a five-year service life, with a residual value of $5,000 at the end of five years. Using the double-declining balance method, depreciation expense for 2021 would be:

Answer :

Answer:

Annual depreciation= $11,000

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Purchase price= $60,000

Salvage value= $5,000

Useful life= 5 years

To calculate the depreciation expense under the double-declining balance method, we need to use the following formula:

Annual depreciation= 2*[(book value)/estimated life (years)]

Annual depreciation= (60,000 - 5,000) / 5

Annual depreciation= $11,000

The depreciation expense using the double-declining balance method for 2021 starts from $24,000 and finally in the fifth year the residual value will be left that is $4,666.

What is double-declining method of depreciation?

When opposed to straight-line depreciation, which employs the same amount of depreciation each year, the double-declining balance depreciation method technique is an expedited depreciation approach that counts as an expense more quickly.

The formula for depreciation using double-declining depreciation:

[tex]\rm\,Periodic\,Depreciation\,expense= Beginning\,book\,value\times\,Rate\,of \,depreciation.[/tex]

[tex]\rm\,Rate\,of\,depreciation= \\\\\ Expense = \(\dfrac{100\%}{Useful\,life\,of\,the\,asset}\times\,2\\\\Expense = \dfrac{100\%}{5}\times\,2\\\\= 40\%[/tex]

The calculation of the depreciation amount for the given case has been attached in the image below.

Hence, Kansas enterprise will have the following depreciation amounts using the double-declining-balance method for the period of 5 years: $24,000,$14,400, $8,640, $5,184, and $3,110 respectively.
