A four-storey industrial building has a depreciated value of P890,000 at the start of 18th year and has a salvage value P50,000. What is the total depreciation during the 8th year? Use double declining balance method.

Answer 1

$$\frac{890000-50000}{18}=46667$$

$$\frac{46667}{890000}\times 100=5.2$$
