    Percentage depreciation = 16.25%

    Explanation:

    Property value = Contributory value + replacement cost

    = $50000 + $80000 = $130000

    Depreciation = $130000 / 10 = $13000

    Percentage depreciation = 13000 / 80000 = 16.25%

    3.75%

    Explanation:

    To calculate the depression rate

    We would use this method

    Annual Depreciation = (Cost of Asset - Net Scrap Value) / Useful Life

    Cost of assets is = $80,000

    Net scrap value = $50,000

    Useful life = 5years

    Substituting the values into the equation we have

    Annual depreciation = (80000-50000)

    Annual depression = $30000/10

    Annual depression = $3000

    Rate % = annual depression / costs of assets

    Rate % = 3000/80000

    Rate % = 0.0375

    Rate % = 0.0375 * 100%

    Rate = 3.75%
