	Depreciation for the period			End of period
Year	Beginning year Book value	Depreciation rate	Annual Depreciation	Accumulated Depreciation	Year end Book value
Year 1	261000	50%	130500	130500	130500
Year 2	130500	50%	65250	195750	65250
Year 3	65250	50%	32625	228375	32625
Year 4	32625	50%	2625	231000	30000
Total			231000
Workings:
Depreciable cost	231000	=261000-30000
Less: Accumulated Depreciation Year 3	228375
Annual Depreciation Year 4	2625
