a. .5% b. 1.0% c. 2.0% d. 5.0% **ANSWER: C Land never depreciates, so first determine the value of the structure: $125,000 - $25,000 = $100,000. Using straight-line depreciation, you can determine the building has depreciated by $100,00 since it was built ($200,000-$100,000), which equates to $4,000 per year ($100,000/25=$4,000). Finally, divide the annual depreciation by the value of the structure to find the annual rate of depreciation: $4,000 / $200,000 = 2%
