Then, to determine the annual depreciation for the asset, the depreciable basis is divided by the estimated life span of the asset. For example, if a manufacturing machine costs $1,200 and is expected to be worth $200 at the end of its useful life, its depreciable basis is $1,000.
Early Car Lease Termination. You decided to lease a car. Then, a year or two into your lease agreement, something changes. You need to get out of your lease early.

A New Lease. In most cases, when a lease reaches its end you'll have two options for keeping the vehicle under a new lease. One option is extending the existing lease, under the same terms and for the same monthly payment, for a short time. This gives you time to look for a new vehicle or decide what to do.
