Iverson Company purchased a delivery truck for $45,000 on January 1, 2018. The truck was assigned an estimated useful life of 5 years and has a residual value of $10,000. Compute depreciation expense using the double-declining-balance method for the years 2018 and 2019.

Answer :

Answer:

Results are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Purchase price= $45,000

Useful life= 5 years

Salvage value= $10,000

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

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

2018:

Annual depreciation= 2[(45,000 - 10,000) / 5]

Annual depreciation= 14,000

2019:

Annual depreciation= 2*[(35,000 - 14,000)/5]

Annual depreciation= $8,400

The depreciation expense using the double-declining-balance method in 2018 is $18,000 and in 2019 is $10,800.

The double-declining balance method is an accelerated depreciation method when compared with other deprecation methods.

Depreciation expense = (2 x cost of the asset) / useful life of the asset

Deprecation expense in 2018

(2 x $45,000) / 5 = $18,000

Deprecation expense in 2019

Book value in 2019 = cost of the asset - deprecation expense

$45,000 - $18,000 = $27,000

Deprecation expense = (2 x $27,000) / 5 = $10,800
