    Depreciation base = Cost of machine - Salvage value = 24000-4000 = $20,000

    Yearly depreciation expense = Depreciation cost / Life = 20,000/5 = $4,000

    Straight line rate of depreciation = 4,000/20,000 = 0.2 = 20%

    Double-declining-balance method rate = 20*2 = 40% = 0.4

    Year 1 depreciation expense = 24000*0.4 = $9,600

    Year 2 depreciation expense = (24000-9600) * 0.4 = $5,760

    Therefore, depreciation expense for year 2 is $5,760
