state-of-the-art MRI machine to be purchased on 01-01-09 for a cost of $1,250,000 with a useful life of 6 years and an
expected salvage value of $35,000.

Calculate depreciation for the entire 6 year period using four depreciation methods.

For SL and SYD, calculate and use the depreciable base to determine yearly depreciation expense.
