The useful life is 4 years only. So by the end of the 4th year the asset has to be fully depreciated and only the salvage value will be left.
In this sum, at the beginning of 4th year, carrying value was 287.50. Salvage value is 100.
So depreciation expense for 4th year will be 287.50 – 100 = 187.50 and the asset will be completely written off.
