An equipment was purchased for $15,000. it has a useful life of 5 years and a residual value of $4,000. determine the depreciation expense for the first year using the double-declining-balance method?
Hello there, Value for 5 years = $15,000 - $4000 = $11,000 Value for a year = $11,000 / 5 = $2,200 Thus, the depreciation expense for the first year is $2,200
