Declining-balance method

Help? What am I doing wrong?

Your answer is partially correct. Try again Calculate the amount of depreciation expense that Evers should record for Machine B each year of its useful life under the following assumptions. (Round depreciation cost per unit to 2 decimal places, e.g. 12.25. Round final answers to O decimal places, e.g. 2,125.) (1) Evers uses the straight-line method of depreciation (2) Evers uses the declining-balance method. The rate used is twice the straight-line rate (3) Evers uses the units-of-activity method and estimates that the useful life of the machine is 104,100 units. Actual usage is as follows: 2017, 42,500 units; 2018, 30,500 units; 2019, 18,500 units; 2020, 12,600 units.
