Respuesta :

Answer:

$28,000

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Cost of the building purchased = $140,000

Estimated salvage value = $8,000

Expected useful life = ten years

Now,

Annual rate of depreciation using the double-declining-balance method

= 2 × [ 100% ÷ (Useful life )]

= 2 ×  [ 100% ÷ 10 ]

= 2 × 10%

= 20% or 0.20

Therefore,

Depreciation expense for 20X1 = Cost of building × Rate of depreciation

= $140,000 × 0.20

= $28,000
