The most popular method of accelerated deprecaiation schedule is sum of years digits method.

Calculation of Depeciation-

Value of machinery =Purchase cost + installtion expenses

= $61243+$14078

=$75321

Net salvage value = $2500

Life of the furniture = 15 years

Deprecation=Yearsof useful life/(15+14+13+12+11+10+9+8+7+6+5+4+3+2+1)*(Original value - salvage value)

=15/120*($75321-$2500)

=$9102.625 per year

Value of Furniture on 10th may 2006={$75321(-$9102.625*4)}

=$38910.5
