    Asset: 120,000

    Year 1: estimated useful life of 10 years. residual value of 10,000

    120,000 - 10,000 = 110,000 / 10 years = 11,000 annual depreciation.

    Start of year 3.

    estimated useful life of 4 years. residual value of 2,000

    120,000 - 2,000 = 118,000 / 4 = 29,500 annual depreciation.

    29,500 x 2 = 59,000

    11,000 x 2 = 22,000

    59,000 - 22,000 = 37,000

    59,000 + 37,000 = 96,000 / 2 = 48,000 annual depreciation for year 3 and year 4.

    Beginning Balance: 120,000

    Less: Depreciation:

    Year 1 11,000

    Year 2 11,000

    Year 3 48,000

    Year 4 48,000 (118,000)

    Residual Value 2,000
