Depreciation expense to be charged using the Double Declining Method
It is a method of depreciation used by the companies when they want to quickly depreciate an asset.
The asset will depreciate much faster under this method than straight-line because we double the percentage that would be depreciated each year under straight-line.
Salvage value is not subtracted from Cost of Asset when depreciation is calculated by using this method.
The formula for double declining balance is:
Annual depreciation = Book Value * 100% / life * 2
Calculate the percentage that should be used first.
Percentage = 100% / Useful Life x 2 = 100% / 3 x 2 = 2/3 or 0.6667 or 66.66667%
Once the percentage is calculated, it is the same for the rest of the asset’s life.

Note 1 – The equipment was purchased on April 1. So the depreciation expenses for Year 1 is recorded for 9 months only.
Note 2 - By applying formula, the depreciation of year 4 is coming $2,010 (3,014*0.6667) but it will reduce the residual value. An asset is depreciated upto its salvage value, hence the Depreciation Expense can be recorded to the extent of $1,394 in Year 4.
The Depreciation Expense will be as follows:
Year 1 - $27,136
Year 2 - $18,090
Year 3 - $6,029
Year 4 - $1,394
