Mohr company purchases a machine at the beginning of the year at a cost of $23,000. the machine is depreciated using the double-declining-balance method. the machine's useful life is estimated to be 5 years with a $8,000 salvage value. the machine's book value at the end of year 2 is:

By double-declining method;

Depreciation expense = 2*(1/life)*Book value at begging of the year

Year 1:
Book value = $23,000
Depreciation = 2*(1/5)*23000 = $9200

Year 2:
Book value = 23000-Depreciation in year 1 = 23000-9200 = $13,800
Depreciation = 2(1/5)*13800 = $,5,520
Book value at the end of year 2 = Book value at beginning - depreciation = 13800 - 5520 = $8,280

The book value at the end of the second year is $8,280.

Further Explanation:

Double declining balance method: It is a depreciation method in which the rate that is used to depreciate the asset is twice the rate as it is depreciated in the straight-line method. The depreciation is calculated as:

[tex]{\text{Double Declining Balance Formula=2}}\times{\text{ }}\frac{{{\text{Cost of the asset}}}}{{{\text{Useful Life}}}}[/tex]

Calculate the depreciation under the double declining balance method:

Year 1:  

[tex]\begin{aligned}\text{Book Value}&=\$23,000\\\text{Depreciation for the first year}&=2\times\dfrac{\$23,000}{5}\\&=\$9,200\\\text{Book Value at the end of year 1}&=\$23,000-\$9,200\\&=\$13,800\end{aligned}[/tex]

Year 2:

[tex]\begin{aligned}\text{Book Value}&=\$13,800\\\text{Depreciation for the first year}&=2\times\dfrac{\$13,800}{5}\\&=\$5,520\\\text{Book Value at the end of year 2}&=\$13,800-\$5,520\\&=\$8,280\end{aligned}[/tex]

Therefore, the book value at the end of the second year is $8,280.
