Machinery was purchased on january 1 for $51,000. the machinery has an estimated life of 7 years and an estimated salvage value of $9,000. double-declining-balance depreciation for the second year would be (round calculations to the nearest dollar): a. $10,929b. $10,408c. $10,500d. $6,000

Option (B) is correct.

Explanation:

Given that,

Purchasing cost = $51,000

Estimated life of machinery = 7 years

Estimated salvage value = $9,000

Depreciation rate under Double declining balance method:

=  (1 ÷ Useful life) × 200%

= (1 ÷ 7) × 200%

= 28.57%

First year depreciation = Purchasing cost × Depreciation rate

                                      = $51,000 × 28.57%

                                      = $14,571

Second Year depreciation:

= (Purchasing cost - First year depreciation) × Depreciation rate

= ($51,000 - $14,571) × 28.57%

= $10,408

dual credit courses allow you to take a test at the end of the course that, if you pass it with a high enough score, will give you college credit.
