Dont understand how to use charts, the answer was left blank in the solution textbook !
Explanation / Answer
Depreciation on truck = $36,000 * 35% = $12,600
Depreciation on Machinery = $85,000 * 3.57% = $3034.50
Depreciation on land = Nil
Depreciation on Building = $280,000 * 0.107% = $299.60
Total depreciation deduction in 2015 = $12,600 + $3,034.50 + $299.60 = $15,934.10
