    Depreciation Expense for 2021 would be $28,840

    Explanation:

    Double Declining balance method is the form of accelerated depreciation method, in which value of asset depreciated twice by the rate which is charged in straight line method.

    Depreciable Cost = Cost of Asset - Residual value

    Depreciable Cost = $80,500 - $8,400 = $72,100

    Double-declining-balance rate = [ 2 x Depreciable cost / Useful life ] / Cost of Asset

    Double-declining-balance depreciation = 2 x $72,100 / 5 = $28,840
