Asset cost minus residual value equals depreciable cost. Sum theyearly depreciation to determine total depreciation.
Annual units-of-production depreciation allocates the cost ofthe asset equally over the units produced (hours).
The double-declining rate is two times the straight-line rate.Book value is the asset cost minus accumulated depreciation. In thefirst year, the balance in the accumulated depreciation account iszero.
