Aplant asset cost $96,000 and is estimated to have a $12,000 salvage value at the end of its 8-year useful life. the annual depreciation expense recorded for the third year using the double-declining-balance method would be
a. $8,040.
b. $13,500.
c. $11,812.
d. $9,190.

option (b) $13,500

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Cost of the plant asset = $96,0003

Salvage value = $12,000

Useful life = 8 years

Now,

using the double-declining-balance method

Depreciation rate =

or

Depreciation rate =

or

Depreciation rate = 0.25 or 25%

Thus,

For year 1

Depreciation expense = Depreciation rate × year book value

= 0.25 × $96,000

= $24,000

Book value for year 2 = $96,000 - $24,000 = $72,000

For year 2

Depreciation expense = Depreciation rate × year 2 book value

= 0.25 × $72,000

= $18,000

Book value for year 3 = $72,000 - $18,000 = $54,000

For year 3

Depreciation expense = Depreciation rate × year 3 book value

= 0.25 × $54,000

= $13,500

Hence,

The correct answer is option (b) $13,500

the answer is: c.that person might be arrested and deported

filling w-4 form incorrectly usually would rise suspicions from government's auditors. when they notice such mistakes, they would send their teams to investigate the situation further.

if those investigation teams believe that the incorrectness is done on purpose (with malicious intent), that person can be arrested or deported
