Answer:

$16,000

Explanation:

Calculation to determine what amount should Carr report as depreciation expense for the equipment

First step is to calculate Depreciation under Double declining Balance method

Depreciation under DDB = 2/10 x $100,000

Depreciation under DDB =$ 20,000

Now let calculate what amount should Carr report as depreciation expense for the equipment

Depreciation expense=2/10 *($100,000-$20,000)

Depreciation expense=2/10*$80,000

Depreciation expense= $16,000

Therefore what amount should Carr report as depreciation expense for the equipment is $16,000
