Answer:

$7,326

Explanation:

Double Decline Balance = 2 x SLDP x SLDBV

where,

SLDP = Straight Line Depreciation Percentage

          = 100 ÷ useful life

          = 100 ÷ 20

          = 5 %

and

SLDBV = Straight Line Percentage Book Value

Year 1

Double Decline Balance = 2 x 5% x $81,400

                                           = $8,140

Year 2

Double Decline Balance = 2 x 5% x ($81,400 - $8,140)

                                           = $7,326

Therefore

The machine's second-year depreciation using the double-declining balance method is $7,326.
