Document Summary

First, compute the straight-line depreciate rate per year. A 5-year asset has a sl depreciation rate of 1/5 or 20% Second, multiply the sl rate by 2 to compute the ddb rate. For a 5-year asset, the ddb rate is 40% (20% x2) Third, multiply the ddb rate by the period"s beginning asset carrying amount (cost less accumulated depreciation). Under the ddb method, ignore the residual value of the asset in computing depreciation, except during the last year. Ddb depreciation rate per year = (1/useful life, in years) x 2. Fourth, determine the final year"s depreciation amount that is, the amount needed to reduce the asset carrying amount to its residual value. The residual value should not be depreciated but should remain on the books until the asset is disposed of. For an asset that generates revenue evenly over time, the straight-line method best meets this criterion.
