   Koffman's Warehouse purchased a forklift on January 1, 2017, for $380,000. The forklift is expected to last for five years and have a residual value of $15,000. Koffman's uses the double-declining-balance method for depreciation.

   Required:

   1. Calculate the depreciation expense, accumulated depreciation, and book value for each year of the forklift's life. If necessary, round any depreciation calculations to the nearest dollar.
