Explanation / Answer

Straight line depreciation percent = 100% / 4 years

= 25%

Depreciation rate = 2 * 25%

= 50%

Depreciation expense:

2018

Depreciation = $72960 * 50% = $36480

2019

Depreciation = ($72960 - $36480) * 50% = $18240

2020

Depreciation = ($72960 - $36480 - $18240) * 50% = $9120

2021

Depreciation = ($72960 - $36480 - $18240 - $9120) * 50% = $4560

Total depreciation expense = $68400.
