Use straight-line depreciation. (5 points)b. Use declining-balance depreciation with a depreciation rate that ensures the book value equals the salvage vale in the last year of the life of the equipment. c. Use double declining balance depreciation. d. Use MACRS depreciation where the Bobcat is considered a 10 year property. e. Graph the Book values of each methods on a single graph. The graph should have points at each year for each BV and a line of each method. You will have 4 lines on your graph. You should include year 0 on your graph so that all four lines start at the same point. Each method should be…
