Correct Answer: Option B
Explanation

Year 1:

Depreciation = (Book value at the beginning of the year) x (Depreciation rate) = (#120,000) x (40%)
= #48,000
Book value at the end of Year 1 = Cost - Depreciation
= #120,000 - #48,000
= #72,000
Year 2:
Depreciation = (Book value at the beginning of the year) x (Depreciation rate) = (#72,000) x (40%)
= #28,800
Book value at the end of Year 2 = Book value at the end of Year 1 - Depreciation = #72,000 - #28,800
= #43,200
Year 3:
Depreciation = (Book value at the beginning of the year) x (Depreciation rate) = (#43,200) x (40%)
= #17,280
Book value at the end of Year 3 = Book value at the end of Year 2 - Depreciation = #43,200 - #17,280
= #25,920
Year 4:
Depreciation = (Book value at the beginning of the vear) x (Depreciation rate)
