    The book value at the end of the fourth year is $625,000

    Explanation:

    The question is to prepare a schedule of depreciation through the double-declining balance method

    First, we determine the rate of depreciation as follows

    useful life is 4 years, therefore 100%/4 = 25%.

    Since we are using double declining method = 25% x2 = 50%

    The second step is to prepare the schedule

    Beginning Depreciation Depreciation Accumulated Book Value

    Book Value Rate Expense Depreciation

    10,000,000 50% 5,000,000 5,000,000 5,000,000

    5,000,000 50% 2,500,000 7,500,000 2,500,000

    2500,000 50% 1,250,000 8,750,000 1,250,000

    1,250,000 50% 625,000 9,375,000 625,000
