Wickland Company installs a manufacturing machine in its production facility at the beginning of the year at a cost of $87,000. The machine's useful life is estimated to be 5 years, or 400,000 units of product, with a $7,000 salvage value. During its second year, the machine produces 84,500 units of product. Determine the machines' second year depreciation under the double-declining-balance method. A. $16,900.B. $16,000.C. $17,400.D. $18,379.E. $20,880.

$13,920

Explanation:

Calculation to Determine the machines' second year depreciation under the double-declining-balance method

First step is to calculate the depreciation rate

Using this formula

Depreciation rate = 100% / Useful life *2

Let plug in the formula

Depreciation rate == (100%/5years) * 2

Depreciation rate =40%

Second Step

Year 1 =$87,000 *40% *2

Year 1= $69,600

Third step is to Determine the machines' second year depreciation under the double-declining-balance method

Year 2 Depreciation = ($87,000 - $69,600) *40% *2

Year 2 Depreciation= $13,920

Therefore the machines' second year depreciation under the double-declining-balance method will be $13,920
