Compare annual charges and the remaining carrying value

Your goal: Use SLN and SYD on the same cost, salvage and useful life, then reconcile cumulative SYD allocation.

Full task requirements

Enter separate formulas in E2:E4. B2 is initial cost, B3 is salvage, B4 is whole useful years and B5 is the selected whole year. E2 is one straight-line annual charge. E3 is the SYD charge for B5. E4 is initial cost less all SYD charges for years 1 through B5, including the selected year. Keep calculated amounts unrounded.
