"DEPRECIATION, CONSTANT PERCENTAGE (RATE) METHOD. Determine the annual depreciation charge by assuming depreciation charge is  made at year end and is a fixed percentage or rate RATEDEPR of the book value at the beginning ofthe year.                                                                                                                                                       Ans(a) Set N=1, NYEARS=6, ORIGCOST=19,200, SCRPVAL=1440. Depreciation rate      is 0.351.
