Calculations

The declining balance is based on a declining coefficient, as illustrated in this table:

Declining Coefficient

Probable Asset Life

Declining Rate

1.5

3 and 4 years

50 and 37.5 percent

2

5 and 6 years

40 and 33.33 percent

2.5

More than 6 years

2.5 * life percent

Subtract half of the basis in the year before the total number of years.

Use the remaining basis for calculations.
