Calamity Cauliflower? Sounds like the name of a B-movie villain. I wonder if they also sell 'Pandemonium Potatoes' or 'Chaos Carrots'.

Hmm, this is a tricky one. I better double-check my depreciation calculations to make sure I don't miss anything.

I agree with Carisa, the rationale is that the additional depreciation tax shield is calculated by taking the difference in depreciation between the new and old equipment.
