hmongthaoboi: it depends how u want it work but
the good way to do is
i would choose B
you figure out how much it will deprecition per year, and record per rate of time in your journal or transction,
then at the end of the period you will credit the left over of whats not depreciated
the bad way to do is
D
you pay off the whle equipment, then you figure out how much it will values is, this way you you report your earrning lower start the start of the period.
