11.1 Depreciation
Depreciation is the decline in value of an item over time. E.g. your car worth today may not be worth the same in a year time. The value, after taking account of depreciation, is called salvage value. There are two methods of depreciation; straight-line and declining balance. Straight-line depreciation reduces the value of item by constant amount every year.
Example 1
I bought a car for $25,000 which depreciates at 20% per year. What is its salvage value after 4 years and how much it depreciated?
Example 2
