For the first item purchased on Jan 4, 2006 you have to calculate 3 years and 3 months of depreciation. The yearly rate will be the cost of 60,000 * 20% * 3. For the 3 months you need to take the 60,000 * 20% * 3/12.

For the other item you need to calculate for 2 years and 3 months.
So: 40,000 * 20% * 2 and 40,000 * 20% * 2/12.

Then add your amounts together, which is your Accumulated Depreciation account balance.
