She did not elect to expense any of the asset cost under section 179, nor did she elect straight-line cost recovery. Hazel did elect not to take additional first-year depreciation. Determine the cost recovery for 2014.

Explanation / Answer

Cost of recovery for 2014 can be determined using double declining method of calculating depreciation,

Depreciation rate = 20*200%= 40%

But the 1st year half depreciation will be charged,

Depreciation = 100000*40%*1/2

= $20000
