Explanation / Answer

Purchase date = April 1, 2014

Cost = 895,860

Service life = 20 years

Salvage value = 75,600

Depreciation under Sum-of-years-digits method = (cost - salvage value) * No of years left / n(n+1)/2

n(n+1)/2 = 20(20+1)/2 = 210

Depreciation for 2014 = [(895,860 - 75,600) * 20 / 210] * 9 / 12 = 58,590

Depreciation for 2015 = (895,860 - 75,600) * 19.25 / 210 = 75,191

Depreciation under Double-declining-balance method = (cost - accumulated deprecition) / useful life * 2

Depreciation for 2014 = [(895,860 - 0) / 20 * 2] * 9 / 12 = 67,190

Depreciation for 2015 = (895,860 - 67,190) / 20 * 2 = 82,867.
