- Straight line Depreciation rate = 100% /5 = 20% - Double declining balance depreciation rate = 20% * 2 = 40% - Depreciation for year 2021 = $120,000 * 40%*3/12= $12000 - Book value of the plant asset on the December 31, 2021 = $120,000 - $12,000 = $108,000

A plant asset cost $288,000 and is estimated to have a $36,000 salvage value at the end of its 8- year useful life. The annual depreciation expense recorded for the third year using the double- declining balance method would be?
