Video Transcript

Just a quick note that you can now set

0:03

negative annual growth rates for things

0:06

that are other assets. Um, so you'll see

0:10

it like this. You actually have to type

0:13

the number and then the negative sign

0:15

and then it'll come through. So hit

0:21

save. So this is useful

0:24

for things that just depreciate over

0:27

time like

0:28

vehicles. So you can see it's going

0:33

down now with a percentage. It's never

0:36

going to get all the way to zero because

0:38

it's just lpping off in this case 6% per

0:42

year. But you do see how it's going

0:44

down.
