Consider the depreciation calculation that is governed by d (t) = p*P*(1-p) to the power t-1 B(t) = using the value of p = 1 - (F/P) to the power 1/N, ( Where F = Salvage Value P = cost basis) then when t = N, the book value becomes equal to O P to the 1/N power O P p* P to the N power
Kappa Holdings is looking at a new system with an installed cost of $740,000. This cost will be depreciated straight-line to zero over the project's 7-year life, at the end of which the system can be salvaged for $102,000. The system will save the firm $217,000 per year in pretax operating costs, and the system requires an initial investment in net working capital of $69,000, which will be returned at the end of the project.
