B Double Declining Balance Depreciation Schedule

  Deperciation for the year  
Date Asset Cost Beginning book value x DDB rate = Deperciation Expenses Accumulated Depreciation Book Value
Year 1 $34,120 - x   - - - $34,120
Year 1 - 34,120 x 40% = $13,648 $13,648 $20,472
Year 2 - 20,472 x 40% = $8,189 $21,837 $12,283
Year 3 - 12,283 x ???????40% = $4,913 $26,750 $7,370
Year 4 - 7,370 x ???????40% = $2,948 $29,698 $4,442
Year 5 - 4,422 x   = $2,422 $32,120 $2,000

DDB rate = 1 /5 * 2 =40%
