Display the amount of depreciation, and the value of the asset after depreciation for each of the n year.

Question

One method of calculating depreciation for an asset is the double-declining balance method. In this method, if an amount is to be depreciated over n years,2/n times the undepreciated balance is depreciated annually. For example, using this method to depreciate RM150,000 over a 5 year periods, we would depreciate 2/5 of RM150,000(RM60,000) the first year, leaving an undepreciated balance of RM90,000.In the second year,2/5 of RM90,000(RM36,000)would be depreciated leaving an undepreciated in each year, the entire amount will never be depreciated. Develop an algorithm (only) using a method of your choice for calculating depreciation using the double-declining balance. Assume the input to the program would be n year followed the value of the asset. Display the amount of depreciation, and the value of the asset after depreciation for each of the n year. Your algorithm should employed at least TWO(2) of the three control structures in a structured programming.

Answer 1

#include <stdio.h>

int main()

{

int n=-1;

double amount=-1;

while (n<=0)

{

printf(" Input the number of years :>");

scanf("%d",&n);

}

while (amount<0)

{

printf(" Input the amount :>");

scanf("%lf",&amount);

}

double depreciation_factor = 2.0f/n;

int iLoop;

double flAmt = amount;

printf(" YEAR DEPRECIATION AMOUNT REMAINING AMOUNT \n");

for (iLoop=0; iLoop<n; iLoop++)

{

double depreciated_amount = flAmt * depreciation_factor;

flAmt -= depreciated_amount;

printf("%d %12.2lf %12.2lf \n",(iLoop+1),

depreciated_amount,

flAmt);

}

}
