    b.$60,000.

    Explanation:

    First we have to find the depreciation rate which is shown below:

    = One : useful life

    = 1 : 3

    = 33.33%

    Now the rate is double So, 66.66%

    In year 1, the original cost is $900,000, so the depreciation is $600,000 after applying the 66.66% depreciation rate

    And, in year 2, the $200,000 ($900,000 - $600,000) * 66.66%

    And, in year 3 it is ($100,000 - $40,000) = $60,000

    The $100,000 is come from

    = $900,000 - $600,000 - $200,000

    = $100,000
