1..1st year .cost = 250000-20000=230000. dep=230000/10=23000
balance =230000-23000=207000
2nd year opening cost 207000.
dep 41400(20% of 207000)
balance=207000-41400=165600
2. 1st year cost =300000-30000=270000..dep=270000/1+2+3+4+5=18000
balance =270000-18000=252000
2nd year opening 252000..dep=252000/10=25200
balance=252000-25200=226800
3. c0st-dep=320000-90000=230000
230000+120000=350000
loss=350000-330000=20000.
4. 1st year cost=270000-45000=225000.dep=225000/5=45000
balance=225000-45000=180000
2nd yearopening cost= 180000..dep=45000
balace=180000-45000=135000.asset is sold for 200000.profit=200000-135000=65000
