Straight-Line Depreciation Percent = 100% / 10 years = 10% / year

Depreciation Rate = 2 x 10% = 20% / year

Depreciation for a Period = 20% x Book Value at Beginning 

  • Depreciation for Period 1 = 20% x $5,400= $1,080
  • Depreciation for Period 2 = 20% x (Accumulated Depreciation:$5,400- $1,080) =  $864

Accumulated Depreciation would be $210,000 assuming that the company charges depreciation at the end of the year. Hence till30 June2021, depreciation for the period01.01.2021 to30.06.2021 has not been charged.
