    The answer is $192,000

    Explanation:

    Double-declining-balance method is doubling the rate used.

    To find the rate:

    100percent:5years

    = 20%.

    Doubling the rate:

    20% x 2

    =40%

    Depreciation for December 31, 2020 is:

    0.4 x $800,000

    =$320,000.

    Net book value of the asset at the beginning of January 1, 2021 is:

    $800,000 - $320,000

    $480,000.

    Therefore, depreciation for December 31, 2021 is:

    $480,000 x 0.4

    =$192,000.

    Therefore depreciation for December 31, 2021 is $192,000
