Asset value : 20 ,000
Life time = 5 years = n years
Scrap value or residual value = 2 000

   Straight line depreciation rate = (20 000 - 2000) * 100 / (20 000 * 5) = 18 %

Double declining rate method :
     depreciation rate :     2 * sttraight line depreciation rate = 36 %

   depreciation at the end of 1 year = 36 % of 20 000 = 7 200
 
Value at the end of year 1 :  20 000 - 7 200 = 12 800
