The depression worksheets calculation method only results in the entered annual depreciation when the worksheet is used to calculate exactly one year at a time.

At the beginning and end of an assets life one calculation can be done to estimate the full part year depreciation, To do this Managers worksheet uses a linear approximation (of the underlying multi year exponential decrease in asset value).

For all other time periods external manual calculation of depreciation is required.
