Straight line depreciation expense = (Cost - Residual Value) / Years
= ($444,800 - $36,800) / 3
= $136,000
Depreciation expense Year 1 = $136,000
Depreciation expense Year 2 = $136,000
Depreciation expense Year 3 = $136,000
Units of activity method
Accumulated depreciation = Cost - Residual Value
= $444,800 - $36,800
= $408,000
Depreciation expense Year 1 = $408,000 * (2,040 / 5,100)
= $408,000 * (2,040 / 5,100)
= $163,200
Depreciation expense Year 2 = $408,000 * (1,581 / 5,100)
= $126,480
Depreciation expense Year 3 = $408,000 * (1,479 / 5,100)
= $118,320
Double declining balance method
Double declining balance rate = Straight line depreciation rate * 2
= (100 / 3) * 2
= 66.66667 or 2/3
Depreciation expense Year 1 = $444,800 * (2/3)
= $296,533
Depreciation expense Year 2 = ($444,800 - $296,533) * (2/3)
= $98,845
Depreciation expense Year 3 = ($444,800 - $296,533 - $98,845 - $36,800)
= $12,622
2.
Double declining balance method yields the highest depreciation expense for year 1.
3.
All the three methods yields the most depreciation over the three year life of the equipment. Accumulated depreciation is same in all the three years.
