| Annual depreciation of machine using straight line method | |
| Purchase cost of Machine | 425,000 | 
| Life of Machine | 9 Years | 
| Residual value | 65,000 | 
| Annual depreciation for the years 2009, 2010 and 2011, using straight line method | |
| = (Purchase cost - residual value)/ life of machine | |
| = (425,000-65,000)/9 | |
| = $40,000 | |
| Book value of machine on January 1, 2012 | |
| = $425,000- ($40,000*3) = $305,000 |
