How did the examiner arrive at depreciation and additions amount?

Hello! This qn is referring to KODIAK COMPANY (DEC 09). How did they arrive at the figures? Can you please specify where I could be wrong. depr = 10% * 1266 = 127 additions = 127 + (1266*1.20) - 1266 = 380 Thank you.

Firstly, note 1 of the question says that the depreciation is 10% on the balance before the accumulated depreciation - so it is 10% of cost. Secondly, the investment in new NCA's grows by 20%. So 66 x 1.2 = 79. Therefore the cost of NCA's is 1,266 + 79 = 1,345 Therefore depreciation is 10% x 1,345 = 134.
