So far reducing balance depreciation rate was 2.5 times of Straight-line depreciation rate.

Before reducing balance depreciation rate was computed 2.5 times of straight line depreciation rate(20%*2.5(250%)=50%).

New reducing balance depreciation use 200% depreciation.

Hence, if it same condition as above, new rate will be 20%*2.0(200%)=40%
