| kalps | Twice being 2/N X (cost - acc depn) (NB salvage value is not subtracted) - wehere as it is in Straight line depn |
| shasha | you may put it in this way: rate for straight line is "1/N", rate for DDB is "2/N". |
| liana | Can somebody please explain to me why this answer is not wrong ? Thank u |
| thekobe | liana, net book value doesnt consider the salvage value |
| johntan1979 | Straight line rate = 1/N Where N = Estimated Useful Life DDB = 2 x 1/N x Net book value |
| Shaan23 | Liana. Exactly my point on this question. Dont use calculator shortcuts. Just do the example in the text and you'll know this section inside out. |
