Explanation / Answer

c) Double decline balance :

Straight line dep rate = 100/3 = 33.33%

Double decline rate = 33.33*2 = 66.67%

Year 1 dep = 86670*2/3*9/12 = 43335

Year 2 dep = 86670*2/3*3/12+86670*1/3*2/3*9/12 = 28890

Year 3 dep = 86670*1/3*2/3*3/12+86670*1/3*1/3*2/3*9/12 = 9630

Year 4 dep = 2385
