A company purchases a used item of equipment for $35,000. Its remaining useful life is estimated to be 6 years, and salvage is estimated to be $5000 at the end of its useful life.

Prepare a table that shows its depreciation expense, accumulated depreciation, and net book value for each year of its estimated useful life, one using the straight-line method, and one using double-declining balance.

Straight-line Cost of $35,000 Salvage 0f $5,000 = $30,000 divided by 6 years = $5000/year

Double-declining balance

Assuming income before depreciation and taxes is $100,000 each year and the companys effective tax rate is 20%, the company uses straight-line calculate the tax for book and double-declining balance for the tax return, calculate the tax expense and the tax paid for each year.
