You need to calculate depreciation for years 1 through 4. Since this is straight method depreciaiton, figuring out the depreciation for each year is very simple.
Take the cost of the equipment less the salvage value to get your depreciable base, then take your depreciable base and divide it by the useful life to get your depreciation per year. Now take your depreciation per year times number of years, which is 4 years (2009, 2010, 2011, & 2012). Finally subtract your 4 years of depreciation from your original cost to get your book value of your equipment at the end of 2012. |
