Is it 2.7 depreciation and carrying value of 8 million as at 1 May, 2011?

yes as per the solution but i dont understand y at 1may 2010 cost 20 -2.6=17.4 As the the 3yrs have passed away .Arent we going to depriciate from remaining 3 yrs. depriciation.17.4/3=5.8

20 depreciated at 3.1 per annum gives a net book value of 10.7 Realisable value changes to 2.6 leaving 8.1 to be depreciated over the remaining 3 years at 2.7 per annum And 10.7 - 2.7 gives a net book value of 8 at the end of the fourth year OK?
