    Depreciation for 2017 = $ 15000.

    Explanation:

    Asset cost = 80000

    residual value = 5000

    estimated life = 8 years.

    As we know that:

    Double declining depreciation = 2 * cost of assets * depreciation rate.

    Depreciation rate = 1 / useful life of asset = 1 / 8 =.125 = 12.5%.

    Depreciation of 2016 = 2 * 80000 * 12.5% = 20000

    Depreciation of 2017 = (80000-20000 = 60000*2*12.5% = 15000)
