    depreciation expense = $3,794

    Explanation:

    We know,

    Under the double-declining balance method, depreciation expense rate = (100% : useful life) * 2

    Given,

    Useful life = 8 year

    Therefore, depreciation expense rate = (100% : 8) * 2 = 25%

    Total cost of equipment = Purchase price + Shipping + Installment charge

    Total cost of equipment = $60,000 + 500 + 200 = $60,700

    Hence, the depreciation expense is for 1 year = $60,700 * 25% = $15,175

    Depreciation expense is for 3 months = $15,175 * (3 : 12) = $3,794
