Answer:

Annual depreaciation 2020= $2,400

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Purchase price= $12,000

Salvage value= $2,000

Useful life= 5 years

To calculate the depreciation expense under the double-declining balance, we need to use the following formula:

Annual depreciation= 2*[(book value)/estimated life (years)]

2019:

Annual depreaciation= 2*[(12,000 - 2,000) / 5]

Annual depreaciation= 4,000

2020:

Annual depreaciation= 2*[(10,000 - 4,000) / 5]

Annual depreaciation= $2,400
