Monty Corporation purchased machinery on January 1, 2017, at a cost of $320,000. The estimated useful life of the machinery is 4 years, with an estimated salvage value at the end of that period of $24,000. The company is considering different depreciation methods that could be used for financial reporting purposes.

(a)

Prepare separate depreciation schedules for the machinery using the straight-line method, and the declining-balance method using double the straight-line rate.
