(a)

To determine

Determine the amount of depreciation for each of the first two years by the straight-line method.

### Explanation of Solution

Straight-line Depreciation: Under the straight-line method of depreciation, the same amount of depreciation is allocated every year over the estimated useful life of an asset. The formula to calculate the depreciation cost of the asset using the residual value is shown as below:

Depreciation = (Cost of the assetResidual value)Estimated useful life of the asset

Determine the amount of depreciation for the first year.

Cost of the refrigerator= \$85,000

Estimated Useful Life =10 years

Depreciation = (

(b)

To determine

Determine the amount of depreciation for each of the first two years by the double-declining-balance method.
