Answer:

A. $17,280.

Explanation:

First we have to find the depreciation rate which is shown below:

= One ÷ useful life

= 1 ÷ 5

= 20

Now the rate is double So, 40%

In year 2017, the original cost is $120,000, so the depreciation is $48,000 after applying the 50% depreciation rate

And, in year 2018, the ($120,000 - $48,000) × 40% = $28,800

And, in year 2019, ($120,000 - $48,000 - $28,800) × 40% = $17,280

Hence, the first option is correct
