The correct answer is C.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Purchasing price = $57,000

Useful life = five-year

Residual value = $5,700.

To calculate the depreciation expense under the double-declining balance, we need to use the following formula:

Annual depreciation = 2*[ (book value) / estimated life (years) ]

Annual depreciation = 2*[ (57,000 - 5,700) / 5]

Annual depreciation = $20,520

Book value = 57,000 - 20,520

Book value = $36,480
