Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Fixed assets bought on January 1 = $135,000

Estimated service life = 4 years

Estimated residual value = $10,000

Depreciable amount = $125,000 ($135,000 - $10,000)

Annual Straight-line Depreciation = $31,250 ($125,000/4)

b. Double-declining balance method:

Depreciation rate = 100%/4 * 2 = 50%

Year 1 Depreciation = $67,500 ($135,000 * 50%)

Year 2 Depreciation = $33,750 ($67,500 * 50%)

Year 3 Depreciation = $16,875 ($33,750 * 50%)

Year 4 Depreciation = $6,875 ($16,875 - $10,000)
