Depreciation rate = 1/4*200%			50%
Depreciation for the year
Date	Asset cost	Book value	DDB rate	Depreciation expenses	Accumulated depreciation	Book value
01-02-2018	15,000			0	0	15,000
12-31-2018		15,000	50%	7,500	7,500	7,500
12-31-2019		7,500	50%	3,750	11,250	3,750
12-31-2020		3,750		750	12,000	3,000
12-31-2021		3,000		-	12,000	3,000
