Question 132416: please, I am stuck on this question. I need your help:
The linear depreciation method assumes that an item depreciates the same amount each year. Suppose a new piece of machinery costs $36,500 and it depreciates $2,000 every year. Find the value of the machinery after 4 years.

I'll get you started:

When new: 36,500
After one year: 36,500 - 1(2000) = 34,500
After two years: 36,500 - 2(2000) = 32,500
