Answer:

$266,400.00

Explanation:

Calculating Depreciation using the double depreciation method

Cost of the asset $1,110,000.00

Residual value  $ 300,000.00

Useful five year

Depreciation rate = 1/5*100=  20 percent

double depreciation = 40 percent

depreciation year one: = $ 1,110,000.00 x40/100

     =$1,110,000.00x0.4

     =$444,000.00

Depreciation for year 2: ($ 1,110,000.00- $444,000.00)x 0.4

     =$666,000x0.4

     =$266,400.00
