How to approach this question
Reducing balance depreciation = Rate * (Cost - Accumulated Depreciation).
Full Answer
Carrying amount at start of year = Cost ($800,000) - Accumulated Depreciation ($320,000) = $480,000. Depreciation expense = 20% * $480,000 = $96,000.
Common mistakes
Calculating 20% on the cost ($800,000), which is straight-line depreciation.
