In the first sixty years or so of the Industrial Revolution, working-class people had little time or opportunity for recreation. Workers spent all the light of day at work and came home with little energy, space, or light to play sports or games.
Assuming that new boat prices stayed completely steady with no variations for exchange rates and inflation a boat will very roughly depreciate as follows: Year 1 20% (maybe just over) Year 2 another 5% to 10% Year 3 another 5% to 7% And then about 5% year on year.f you bought a new boat today, what would the depreciation value be over 5/10/15/20 years if it was 200k today. Do older boats of say 15 years, really start going down hill price wise rapidly, ot do they stabilise after a certain age?
When the asset is acquired, its life is estimated in terms of this level of activity. Assume the vehicle above is estimated to go 50,000 miles in its lifetime. The per-mile depreciation rate is calculated as: ($17,000 cost - $2,000 salvage) / 50,000 miles = $0.30 per mile.
