1. The document discusses four methods of calculating depreciation: straight line, use or production, double declining balance, and sum of years digits.
2. It provides the formulas for calculating depreciation under each method and works through an example problem to calculate the depreciation each year for a car purchased for $200,000 and sold for $100,000 over 10 years.
3. Using the straight line method, depreciation is $10,000 per year. Using the use or production method, depreciation ranges from $882 to $33,921 over the 10 years. Using the double declining balance method, depreciation declines from $40,000 to $7,272

3. Question 1
A 2020 car costs 200,000 L.E, if you will buy this car and sell it at 2030
with expected price of 100,000 L.E. you predict that you will be using
it each year 1.5 times more than the previous year with total of
200,000 Km. Calculate the depreciation using
1- straight line method
2- use or production method
3- Double declining method
3- sum of years digits
