    The correct answer is C.

    Explanation:

    Giving the following information:

    Purchasing price = $57,000

    Useful life = five-year

    Residual value = $5,700.

    To calculate the depreciation expense under the double-declining balance, we need to use the following formula:

    Annual depreciation = 2*[ (book value) / estimated life (years) ]

    Annual depreciation = 2*[ (57,000 - 5,700) / 5]

    Annual depreciation = $20,520

    Book value = 57,000 - 20,520

    Book value = $36,480
