Explanation / Answer

Useful life = 10 years

Double declining rate of depreciation = 2 / Useful life = 2 / 10 years = 0.20 = 20%

Depreciation expense for 2016 = Cost of van * 20% = $44,000 * 20% = $8,800

Book value of van at the end of 2016 = $44,000 - $8,800 = $35,200

Depreciation expense for 2017 = $35,200 * 20% = $7,040

Accumulated depreciation at the end of 2017 = Depreciation expense for 2016+ Depreciation expense for 2017 = $8,800 + $7,040 = $15,840

Hence, correct answer is $15,840
