Example: An electronic instrument is purchased for $11,000, with 6 months
remaining in the current fiscal year. The instrument’s useful life is 8 years and the
salvage value is expected to be $500. Using a 200% declining-balance factor,
generate a depreciation schedule for the instrument’s complete life. What is the
remaining depreciable value after the first year? What is the total depreciation
after the 7th year?
