Answer 1

a
Cost	365000
Less: Salvage value	36000
Depreciable cost	329000
Divide by Useful life	5
Annual Depreciation	65800
Depreciation expense	65800
Accumulated Depreciation	148050	=(65800*1/4)+65800+65800
b
Double declining balance rate	40%	=1/5*2
Depreciation for 2019	36500	=365000*40%*1/4
Depreciation for 2020	131400	=(365000-36500)*40%
Depreciation expense for 2021	78840	=(365000-36500-131400)*40%
Depreciation expense	78840
Accumulated Depreciation	246740	=36500+131400+78840
