    a.

    1. $7,600

    2. $17,600

    3. $13,200

    b.

    1. $3,800

    2. $8,800

    3. $6,600

    c.

    1. $15200

    2. $35,200

    3. $26,400

    Explanation:

    1. Straight Line Depreciation Method

    $44,000 - $6,000 / 5 years

    = $7,600.

    2. Double declining - balance Method

    100% / 5 years = 20%

    20% * 2 = 40%

    $44,000 * 40% = $17,600

    3. 150% declining - balance Method

    150% / 5 years = 30%

    $44,000 * 30% = $13,200

    b. Because this is for 6 months only the depreciation expense calculated will be divided into 2

    1. $7,600 / 2 = $3,800

    2. $17,600 / 2 = $8,800

    3. $13,200 / 2 = $6,600

    c.

    1. $7,600 * 2 = $15200

    2. $17,600 * 2 = $35,200

    3. $13,200 * 2 = $26,400
