6. DOUBLE DECLINING BALANCE METHOD (DDBM)
?𝑉
𝑟
= Book value at the end of “r” periods, appraisal value
SV = Salvage value, scrap value, junk value, resale value
FC = First cost
?

n = Useful life, economic life of the property

SUPPLEMENTARY PROBLEMS
:
Example 1.1 A Xerox machine costing ₱75,000 with salvage value of ₱10,000 at the end of its life can print 3,000,000 sheets in its entire life. If it has already printed 500,000 sheets, determine the total depreciation of the Xerox machine at that time.

Example 1.2 A machine costing ₱3,000,000 has a salvage value of ₱0.1M at the end of its useful life, 20 years. It can be used for 5,000 hours in its entire life. Find the accumulated depreciation after using it for 1,000 hours.
Example 1.4 A contractor imported a bulldozer for his manufacturer paying P250 000. Freight and insurance amounted to P18 000, broker’s fees and arrester services, P8500. Taxes, permits and others is P25000. If the contractor estimates the life of the bulldozer to be 10 years with a salvage value of P20 000, determine the book value at the end of 6 years using sinking fund method.
