Answer #1

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

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

Year Beginning value Depreciation Ending value
2017 72000 (2*20%*72000)=$28800 (72000-28800)=$43200

Hence the correct option is D.
