Look at the numbers calculated in the yellow field. In plain english please, 1.explain how depreciation was calculated for years 1-3. 2.explain how depreciation was calculating for years 4-6. Hint: End-of-year basis for year 3 is 28.8% divided by 5 = 5.8% Explain why divide by 5?

1. Do you see something conceptually wrong with this table? In other words, the logic of accelerated depreciation is that we derive greater benefits from the asset in early years. According to that logic, what is wrong with this schedule? 2. Can you propose a solution or modification to the DDB depreciation schedule that would solve the problem you identified in question 1, but would still largely follow the DDB approach? year 1 year 2 DDB over 5 years (not tax) 40.00%...
QUESTIONS 1. Complete the 1992 columns of Tables 3 through 6, disregarding for now the projected data in the 1993 and 1994 columns. If you are using the spreadsheet model, use it to complete the tables. Be sure you understand all the numbers, as it would be most embarrassing and harmful to your career) if you were asked how you got a particular number and you could not give a meaningful response. 2. Based on the information in the case...
