#### 1. Annual Depreciation Expense Using Straight-Line Method
1. **Straight-line depreciation** calculates the machine's annual depreciation by equally spreading the cost over its useful life.
#### 2. Depreciation Schedule Using Double Declining Method
Prepare the depreciation schedule using the double declining depreciation method.
| Year | Beginning Book Value | Depreciation Rate | Depreciation Expense | Accumulated Depreciation | Ending Book Value |
|------|----------------------|-------------------|----------------------|--------------------------|-------------------|
| 1 | | | | | |
| 2 | | | | | |

Prepare the depreciation schedule using the activity-based depreciation method.
| Year | Hours Used | Depreciation Rate | Depreciation Expense | Accumulated Depreciation | Ending Book Value |
|------|------------|-------------------|----------------------|--------------------------|-------------------|
| 1 | 3,000 | | | | |
| 2 | 2,000 | | | | |
| 3 | 2,000 | | | | |
| 4 | 2,000 | | | | |
