The following table demonstrates the double-declining balance method for the same asset. The depreciation rate is equal to double the depreciation rate for the straight-line method. The annual depreciation in the straight-line method is $2,000. Therefore the depreciation rate is $2,000 divided by $10,000, which is 20%. In the double-declining balance method this rate is doubled to 40%. Fill up the blanks. Year Book value (start of year) Depreciation Rate Depreciation expense Accumulated Depreciation Book value (year end) 1 10000 40%...
