Straight-Line Depreciation
Cost - Salvage Value = Depreciable Cost
Depreciable Cost / Useful Life = Depreciation Expense
Double-Declining Cost
Year 1 = Beginning Cost x Double Declining Balance Rate = Annual Exp. & Accumulated Depreciation
Beginning Cost - Annual Exp. = Book Value
Year 2+ = Book Value of Previous Year x Doub. Dec. Bal. = Annual Exp.
Annual Exp. of all years added together = Accumulated Depreciation
Book Value of previous year - current year annual expense = Book Value of current year
