哪位高手帮忙解下这道财务会计的题（英文的）
A plant asset acquired on October 1, 2006, at a cost of $500,000 has an estimated useful life of 10 years. The salvage value is estimated to be $50,000 at the end of the asset's useful life.
Instructions:
Determine the depreciation expense for the first two years using:
(a) the straight-line method.
(b) the double-declining-balance method
希望给出详细的过程和答案~.

Answer 1

a) first year:(500000-50000)/10=45000
second year: (500000-50000)/10=45000
b) first year:500000*(2/10)=100000
second year: (500000-100000)*(2/10)=80000
