Concept explainers
Declining-balance depreciation:
It is an accelerated method of depreciation under which the depreciation declines in each successive year until the value of asset becomes zero. Under this method, the book value (original cost less accumulated depreciation) of the long-term asset is decreased by a fixed rate. It is double the rate of the straight-line depreciation. Use the following formula to determine the annual depreciation:
To compute: the annual depreciation for the first year under the declining-balance method.
To compute: the annual depreciation for the second year under the declining-balance method

- Albany Corporation purchased equipment at the beginning of Year 1 for 75,000. The asset does not have a residual value and is estimated to be in service for 8 years. Calculate the depreciation expense for Years 1 and 2 using the double-declining-balance method. Round to the nearest dollar.arrow_forwardA machine with a 4-year estimated useful life and an estimated 15% residual value was acquired on January 1. Would depreciation expense using the sum-of-the-years-digits method be higher or lower than depreciation expense using the double-declining balance method in the first and second years:arrow_forwardAssume the same information as in RE11-3, except that Albany Corporation purchased the asset on April 1, Year 1. Calculate the depreciation for Year 1 and Year 2 using the double-declining-balance method. Round to the nearest dollar.arrow_forward
