1. Sum of digits of 6 years will be 21. (1+2+.....6 = 21)
2. Multiplying Factor (N) for each year will be original cost - final cost divided by digital sum
i.e. N = (126000 - 0) / 21.
or N = 6000.
So, depreciation for each year will be as ...
First year ......... 6 * N = 36000.
Second year ..... 5 * N
Third year .... 4 * N
Forth year .... 3 * N = 18000.
Fifth Year ..... 2 * N
Sixth Year ..... 1 * N = 6000
