    The straight line depreciation will result in highest net income in year 2.

    Explanation:

    a. Straight Line:

    (Cost - residual value) / useful life

    ($25,000 - $3,000) 5

    Depreciation = $4,400

    b. Units of production:

    (cost * annual production) / Total expected production over life

    Year 1: $25,000 * 2,000 units / 10,000 units = $5,000

    Year 1: $25,000 * 3,000 units / 10,000 units = $7,500

    c. Double declining balance:

    100% / 5 years = 20% * 2 = 40%

    Year 1: $25,000 * 40% = $10,000

    Year 2: $15000 * 40% = $6,000
