Further in the text, the below question is asked. Am I missing something? Does the double decline balance method not account for an asset’s salvage value?
Supernova’s depreciation expense for 2009 under the straight line method is closest to:
-
$101,875
-
$109,375
-
$81,500

Depreciation expense = (Cost – Residual Value) / Useful life
Depreciation expense = (875,000 – 60,000) / 8 = $101,875
