A company purchased a computer system at a cost of $26,000. The estimated useful life is 8 years, and the estimated residual value is $4,000. Assuming the company uses the double-declining-balance method, what is the depreciation expense for the second year

the depreciation expense for the second year is $4,875

Explanation:

The calculation of the depreciation expense for the second year is given below:

First the depreciation rate should be

= 1 ÷ 8 × 2

= 25%

Now the first year depreciation is

= $26,000 × 25%

= $6,500

Now the second year depreciation should be

= ($26,000 - $6,500) × 2

= $4,875

Hence, the depreciation expense for the second year is $4,875
