		Calculations:
		Straight-line method:
		(Cost	Residual Value)	/	Years	=	Yearly Depreciation
		Units-of-activity method:
		(Cost	Residual Value)	/	Total Hours	=	Rate
				Rate	x	Hours	=	Yearly Depreciation
		Year 1
		Year 2
		Year 3
		Double-declining-balance method:
				Depreciable Balance
				x	Rate	=	Yearly Depreciation
		Year 1
		Year 2
		Since depreciation cannot cause book value to fall below residual value:
				Depreciable Balance		Residual Value
					=	Yearly Depreciation
