    Accumulated depreciation = $7,272

    Explanation:

    Giving the following information:

    Purchased: January 1, 2014, at a cash cost of $23,000.

    The estimated useful life is 10 years.

    The estimated residual value is $2,800.

    Under the double-declining balance, we need to use the following formula for each year:

    Annual depreciation = 2*[ (book value) / estimated life (years) ]

    2014 = [ (23,000 - 2,800) / 10]*2 = 4,040

    2015 = [ (20,200 - 4,040) / 10]*2 = 3,232

    Accumulated depreciation = $7,272
