    Double Declining balance method is the form of accelerated depreciation method, in which value of asset depreciated twice by the rate which is charged in straight line method.

    Depreciable Cost = Cost of Asset - Residual value

    Depreciable Cost = $46,250 - $2,800 = $43,450

    Double-declining-balance rate = [ 2 x (Cost of Asset - Residual value) / Useful life ] / Cost of Asset

    Double-declining-balance rate = [ 2 x $46250 / 5 ] / $46,250 = 40%

    Double Declining balance depreciation for the first year = $46,250 x 40% = $18,500
