2020 $700,000

2021 $560,000

2022 $420,000

2023 $224,000

2024 $336,000

Explanation:

Depreciation charge=cost-residual value*number of forms produced in the year/total expected forms.

2020 depreciation = ($2,500,0000-$260,000) * 2,500,000/8,000,000=$700,000

2021 depreciation = ($2,500,0000-$260,000) * 2,000,000/8,000,000=$560000

2022 depreciation = ($2,500,0000-$260,000) * 1,500,000/8,000,000=$420000

2023 depreciation = ($2,500,0000-$260,000) * 800,000/8,000,000=$224000

2024 depreciation = ($2,500,0000-$260,000) * 1200,000/8,000,000=$336000
