Answer #1

Annual depreciation rate as per straight line method=100%/5=20%/year

Hence depreciation as per double decline=2*Annual depreciation rate as per straight line method*Beginning value of each period

Year Beginning value Depreciation Ending value
1 24,000 (2*20%*24,000)=9600 (24000-9600)=14400
2 14400 (2*20%*14400)=$5760

Hence depreciation for 2nd year=$5760
