Answer:
Depreciation after first year will be $725
Explanation:
We have given cost of the machine = $1450
Life of the the machine = 4 year
Rate of depreciation will be equal to [tex]=\frac{100}{life\ time}=\frac{100}{4}=25[/tex] %
Now according to double-declining-balance method rate of depreciation will be double
So rate of depreciation will be = 2×25 = 50%
So depreciation after first year will be = [tex]\frac{1450\times 50}{100}=$725[/tex]
