Explanation / Answer

DDB Depreciation (Double Declining Balance)

It is a method of depreciation used by the companies when they want to quickly depreciate an asset.

The asset will depreciate much faster under this method than straight-line because we double the percentage that would be depreciated each year under straight-line.

Salvage value is not subtracted from Cost of Asset when depreciation is calculated by using this method.

The formula for double declining balance is:

Annual depreciation = Book Value * 100% / life * 2

Calculate the percentage that should be used first.

Percentage = 100% / Useful Life x 2 = 100% / 4 Years x 2 = 50%

Once the percentage is calculated, it is the same for the rest of the asset’s life.

Note --- The annual depreciation for Year ending 12/31/2020 is more than the amount of remaining depreciation we are allowed to take on the asset. Therefore, we cannot take the full amount of depreciation calculated. Instead, we are limited to $3000 in Year ending 12/31/2020.
