Firstly assume opg wdv (yr-1) = 100 so wdv at the end of 4th year (100*12%)12

Now use this formula and trial & error method :-

4th year end wdv (100*12%)12 = (100*R*R*R*R) i.e. R is here for 4 times because of 4 years

here R will be (1- rate of Depreciation) so your answer will come 41%

12 = (100*.59*.59*.59*.59)
