What is the formula for calculating second-year depreciation using the sum of the years' digit method?
Recall the specific factors involved in the years' digit method.

Think about why businesses want to use this method.
A tractor is purchased for ₹10,00,000 with a salvage value of ₹1,00,000 and has a useful life of 10 years. If the depreciation method is changed from double declining to sum of the years' digits after the third year, how should future depreciations be calculated to ensure the book value meets the salvage value at the end?
Realize that you’ll need to assess the remaining useful life properly.
