Answer:

$18,002.88

Explanation:

Depreciation Expense = 2 × SLDP × BVSLDP

Where,

SLDP = 100 ÷ Number of useful life

Therefore,

SLDP =  100 ÷ 6

         = 16.67 %

2018

Depreciation Expense = 2 × 16.67 % × ($36,000 - $3,600)

                                      = $10,802.16

2019

Depreciation Expense = 2 × 16.67 % × ($36,000 - $3,600 - $10,802.16)

                                      = $7,200.72

Accumulated Depreciation at the end of 2019 :

Accumulated Depreciation = $10,802.16 +  $7,200.72

                                             = $18,002.88
