An asset costing 50 000 with a 5-year life has a double declining balance rate of

  • A.10 per cent
  • B.50 per cent
  • C.40 per cent
  • D.20 per cent

Answer: C

Correct answer: 40 per cent

The straight line rate is the reciprocal of the life and the double declining rate is twice it: \[ 2 \times \frac{1}{5} = 0.40 = 40\ \text{per cent.} \] The rate is a property of the life alone; neither the cost nor the salvage value enters it.
