If a depreciation table begins at 0 percent and goes to 40 percent, what would the percent good table start at?

When dealing with depreciation tables, it’s important to understand that the percentage good is a reflection of the remaining value of an asset after depreciation has been accounted for. If the depreciation starts at 0 percent and goes up to 40 percent, this signifies that the asset retains its value starting from full value down to 60 percent of its original value.

Therefore, when an asset has 0 percent depreciation, it maintains 100 percent of its value. As depreciation increases to 40 percent, the asset is left with 60 percent of its original value. Thus, the percent good table, which represents the remaining value, logically begins at 100 percent and decreases as depreciation increases.

This concept aligns with the systematic nature of property value assessment, where an asset is initially at full value before any depreciation is applied, making it clear that 100 percent is the correct starting point for the percent good table.
