    (1) straight-line = $9,975

    (2) double-declining - balance = $23,000

    (3) activity-based = $6,982.50

    Explanation:

    purchase cost $46,000

    useful life 4 years

    residual value $6,100

    total operating hours 12,000

    (1) straight-line = ($46,000 - $6,100) / 4 years = $9,975 fo 2021

    (2) double-declining - balance = 2 x ($46,000 / 4 years) = $23,000 fro 2021

    (3) activity-based = 2,100 hours x [$46,000 - $6,100) / 12,000 hours] = 2,100 x $3.325 = $6,982.50

    The double declining method is considered an accelerated depreciation method, that is why it is so high.
