Your firm wants to buy a vehicle for $30,000. The depreciation period is 10 years. Now consider these two scenarios: a) Using the DDB depreciation (with a switch to alternative straight line depreciation). b) Using the sum of the years' digits depreciation. Compute the vehicle's value in Year 8 of DDB depreciation and SOYD depreciation, denoted as VDDB and Vsoyd respectively. What is the ratio of VDDB/VSOYD? Consider the salvage value of the vehicle is $1,000. What is the ratio of VDDB/VSOYD? answer number (rtol=0.01, atol=0.01) ? Your firm wants to buy a vehicle for $30,000.
