Answer:

$156

Explanation:

equipment cost = $15,500 + $1,600 = $17,100

five year useful life ⇒ double declining depreciation rate = (1 / 5) x 2 = 40%

salvage value = $6,000

  • depreciation year 1 = 40% x $17,100 = $6,840, book value = $10,260
  • depreciation year 2 = 40% x ($17,100 - $6,840) = $4,104, book value = $6,156
  • depreciation year 3 = book value - salvage value = $6,156 - $6,000 = $156

When you use the double declining balance, depreciation expenses ceases when the book value = salvage value.
