Question: I would like to be clarified on this adjustment particularly on depreciation. My question would be, how did you come up with 36, 500 depreciation on building and 109, 000 on equipment. I got the formula of (73 000 x 6)/12 and (218 000 x 6)/12 to get the amounts of 36, 500 and 109, 000. But where did you get the value of 6? i mean, why multiplied to 6 months?

 

Thanks in advance.
