    What have you tried? Besides the first 3 years, the depreciation seems pretty simple (1%). What are you having trouble with?

    Welcome to the forum Pulsifier.

    You have posted in the What's wrong with my code forum but you have not posted any code.

    Do you know how to use loops and if statements?

    Have you learnt arrays? Placing the rates in an array would make things simpler.
