    You have not mentioned the methods of depreciation. However, here goes
    (a) Straight line method: (50,000-5,000)/10 =4,500 for each year
    (b) Reducing balance method:
    2007 - 50,000 x20% = 10,000
    2008: 40,000 x 20% 8,000
    (c) Sum of the years digit:
    2007 - 45,000x10/55= 8,182
    2008 - 45,000x9/55 = 7,364
