Of particular interest to a group of business and finance pupils, this lesson explores depreciation of automobile values by comparing the double declining balance to the straight line method. Mostly this is done through a slide presentation and the working of sample problems together as a class. Along the way, they use decimals and percents, and also investigate exponential decay and linear relationships. A pretest, guided practice, individual practice, and posttest handout are all provided.
