A new electric saw for cutting small pieces of lumber in a furniture manufacturing plant has a cost basis of $6,000 and a 10-year depreciable life. The estimated SV of the saw is zero at the end of 10 years. Use the DB method to calculate the annual depreciation amounts when:
(a) R = 2/N (200% DB method)

(b) R = 1.5/N (150% DB method)
