Computation of Accumulated Depreciation:

Given,

Original Cost of Asset =  P5000000

Life of Asset = 5 Year

Residual Value of Asset = Nil

Depreciation under 200% Double Declining Balance Method:

Depreciation Rate = 1/5 * 100 * 2 = 40%

Depreciation for first 2 years

Year 1 = P5000000 * 40% = P2000000

Year 2 = ( P5000000 - P2000000) * 40% = P3000000 * 40% = P1200000

 

Depreciation for 2022, using Straight Line Method:

Depreciated value of asset after 2 years = P5000000- P2000000 - P1200000 = P1800000

Remaining Life = 3 Years

Depreciation for the year = P1800000 / 3 = P600000

Accumulated Depreciation on December 31, 2022 = P2000000+P1200000+P600000 = P3800000
