- theres nowhere near enough information. *Firstly you havent stated what the question is. *Secondly I need to know either the original cost of those assets, or over how long the accumulated depreciation has been... accumulating. What I CAN advice is... 10% straight line means you take 10% of the original cost of the shop fittings PER YEAR, every year, so adjust if its not a year. reducing balance method means you take 5% of the (original cost of office equipment minus accumulated depreciation), every year this figure will be smaller.
