Double-declining-balance — Twice the straight-line rate: 1/4 × 2 = 2/4 = 50% 20X6 19,500 × .50 = 9,750 4,875 4,875 − 20X7 (19,500 − 9,750) × .50 = residual value of 2,700 = 20X8 4,875 − 2,700 = €2,175
The units-of production method tracks the wear and tear on the van most closely. For income tax purposes, the double-declining-balance method is best because it provides the most depreciation and, thus, the largest tax deductions in the early life of the asset. The company can invest the tax savings to earn a return on the investment.
