Workings

Firstly, Calculate the total depreciation up to the year ended 2020 under Sum of Years Digits Method

Depreciation Sum of Years Digits Method = [ Cost – Salvage Value ] x Year Fraction

Depreciation for Year 2018 = [ $70 Million - $4 Million ] x 10/55 = $12 Million

Depreciation for Year 2019 = [ $70 Million - $4 Million ] x 9/55 = $10.80 Million

Depreciation for Year 2020 = [ $70 Million - $4 Million ] x 8/55 = $9.60 Million

Total Depreciation Expenses charged

= $12 Million + $10.80 Million + $9.60 Million

= $32.40 Million

Book Value at the end of Year 2020 = Cost – Total Depreciation Charged

= $70 Million - $32.40 Million

= $37.60 Million

Depreciation Expense in Year 2021 Under New Straight Line Method

= [ Book Value – Revised Salvage Value ] / Remaining Useful Lie*

= [ $37.60 Million - $5.60 Million ] / 8 Years

= $4 Million per year
