    Straight Line is cost of $185,000 - salvage value /5 years = Depreciation per year

    UoP use ($185,000 - Salvage value)/Total Estimated hours = Depreciation cost per hour
    for each year of use take the Depreciation cost per hour * hours used = Depreciation Expense

    Declining balance in this case is 40% , 1/# of years * 100
    take the beginning year book value * rate of 40% = Depreciation expense
    Beginning book value - Depreciation expense = ending year book balance
