Calculation of Depreciation
Depreciation is calculated at a rate of 10% on the Written Down Method. The depreciation for each year is as follows:
Year 1 (2006-2007): $60,000 * 10% = $6,000
Year 2 (2007-2008): ($60,000 - $6,000) * 10% = $5,400
Year 3 (2008-2009): ($60,000 - $6,000 - $5,400) * 10% = $4,860
