For the company records, the value of the car is depreciated each year. The value of the vehicle could be reduced by the same amount each year over a given number of years until the value is zero. This is called straight line depreciation. Another method is to reduce the value of the car by a percentage each year, 20% for example.\r<BR>\n" );
