Calculation Method:

1st Year: 25% of 100,000 = 25,000 = 12,500 + 12,500

2nd Year: 25% of 75,000 = 18,750 = 9,375 + 9,375

3rd Year: 25% of 56,250 = 14,062.50 = 7,031.25 + 7,031.25

The calculation continues until the book value equals the final rounding amount or the salvage value that you entered.
