Answer:

Annual depreciation= $16,000

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Purchase price= $44,000

Useful life= 5 years

Salvage value= $4,000

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)]

Annual depreciation= 2*[(44,000 - 4,000) / 5]

Annual depreciation= 16,000
