double-declining-balance method

A
  • a method of depreciation that uses a rate equal to twice the straight-line rate and applies that rate to the book value of the asset at the beginning of the year.
    1. Calculate straight line rate
    2. Calculate the double declining rate
    3. Compute depreciation for the period by multiplying the book value by the double declining rate
    4. In the final year of depreciation, take only the amount of depreciation that will reduce the asset’s net book value to its salvageable value
