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?
How to Account for Depreciation and Amortization. Assume, for example, that a carpenter uses a $32,000 truck to perform residential carpentry work, and that the truck has a useful life of eight years. The annual depreciation expense on a straight-line basis is the $32,000 cost basis divided by eight years, or $4,000 per year. On the other hand, assume that a corporation pays $300,000 for a patent that allows the firm exclusive rights over the intellectual property for 30 years, and the firm's accounting department posts $10,000 of amortization expense each year for 30 years. Both the truck and the patent are used to generate revenue and profit over a particular number of years.
