Declining Balance Method
Solution:
(a) d = 2/n = 2/5 = 0.4
D3 = dB(1 – d)t-1
= 0.4(20,000)(1 – 0.40)3-1
= $2880

functions of the enterprise.
Income Tax
The total amount of money transferred from the enterprise to
the various taxing agencies for a given tax year
Operating Expenses

Tax Terminologies Continued
Property Taxes
Assessed as a function of the value of property owned such as
land , buildings, equipment , and so on, and the applicable tax
rates. These taxes are levied by municipal, county and/ or state
governments.
Sales Taxes
Assessed on the basis of purchases of goods and or/ services ,
and thus independent of gross income or profits.
Excise Taxes
Federal taxes assessed as a function of the sale of certain goods
or services often considered non-necessities e.g. cigarettes &
alcohol and gasoline and are hence independent of the income or
profit of a business. “Sin Tax”
