Explanation / Answer

Annual Straight line depreciation = (Cost - Salvage value) / Useful life = ($540200 - $44600) / 4 = $123900

Total = 4 * $123900 = $495600

Units output method depreciation = (Cost - Salvage value) * Hours operated/ Total operating hours

Year 1 = ($540200 - $44600) * 3200/8400 = $188800

Year 2 = ($540200 - $44600) * 2600/ 8400 = $153400

Year 3 = ($540200 - $44600) * 1500/8400 = $88500

Year 4 = ($540200 - $44600) * 1100/8400 = $64900

Total = $495600

Double declining method depreciation = 2 * Straight line rate * Book value of asset at beginning

Year 1 = 2 * 25% * $540200 = $270100

Year 2 = 2 * 25% * ($540200 - $270100) = $135050

Year 3 = 2 * 25% * ($540200 - $270100- $135050 ) = $67525

Year 4 = 2 * 25% * ($540200 - $270100 - $135050 - $67525) = $101287.50

Total = $573962.50
