Explanation:

On January 1, year 1, a company purchased equipment for $100 million.

The equipment consists of four major components, of which two components comprise 80% of the total cost and each has a 20-year useful life.

The remaining two components have costs of $10 million each; one of them has a useful life of four years, and the other has a useful life of five years.

Straight-line method of depreciation is given by the formula: Cost / Number of years

COMPONENT         1      2      3      4

COST                   40M  40M 10M 10M

YEARS                   20     20     4      5

DEPRECIATION   2M    2M  2.5M   2M

Therefore Total depreciation cost for year 1 = 2+2+2.5+2 = $8.5 million
