The adjusted balance in the Accumulated Depreciation account at the end of 2019 is $14,000.
Explanation:
Given:
Cost of van= $32,000
Estimated residual value= $3,200
Straight-line Depreciation Rate= 1/8
= 0.125
Straight-line Depreciation Rate= 12.5%
Declining Balance Rate = 2 ×12.5%
= 25%
Double declining balance can be calculated with the following formula:
2 x basic depreciation rate x book value
By applying the values,
The adjusted balance in the Accumulated Depreciation account= $14,000.
