    Yes – it becomes probably becomes clearer when you consider that buildings are often depreciated on a 50 year straight line basis whereas cars could be 25% straight line for example or 30% reducing balance – cars could even be depreciated on a machine hour basis

    What you most certainly would NOT expect for car depreciation is 50 year straight line!

    OK?
