Recommendation Objectives
  • Write a clear claim about which depreciation method best fits your scenario
  • Cite at least three numbers from your workbook as evidence
  • Identify one risk or limitation of your recommended method
  • Prepare to explain your reasoning to another team

Common Pitfall to Avoid

Do not change the sheet structure from Lesson 07. Your workbook must keep the same four-sheet architecture: Asset Register, Depreciation Schedule, Method Comparison, and Recommendation. If you added or removed sheets, fix it now before the teacher check-in.

Also remember: Book Value = Cost − Accumulated Depreciation must hold for every asset in every year. If your check column shows a mismatch, trace the formula back to its source before moving on.
