Your colleague has calculated the depreciation schedule for a new computer using five different methods, and has given them to you for your consideration $($in the table below$).$ ?However, he forgot to tell you which depreciation methods he used to calculate those schedules, and merely labelled them $"$A$?,"$B$?,"$C$?,"$D$"$ ?and $"$E$?.$ ?

The values in the table below are the annual depreciation charges $($they are not the remaining book value$)$ ?for the computer using the various methods he chose.

Identify the depreciation methods and depreciation rate $($where applicable; put N$/$A if not applicable$)$ ?used to arrive at the schedules in columns A$,$ ?B$,$ ?C$,$ ?D and E$.$ ?And calculate the values for year $5$ ?and $6.$ ?

Note that the estimated salvage value of the equipment at the end of its $6-$year useful life is $$10,000.$ ?Please make sure that BV doesn't go below salvage value.
