    The amount of the decline in value of an asset prescribed in Article 38, paragraph (2) (Amount of Decline in Value of Assets That Give Rise to Capital Gains) of the Act for the period listed in item (ii) of that paragraph is the amount calculated by multiplying the amount calculated, in respect of the total of the amount required to acquire that asset and the amounts of equipment expenses and improvement expenses, pursuant to the former straight-line method prescribed in Article 120, paragraph (1), item (i), (a), (1) (Methods of Depreciation of Depreciable Assets) on the basis of the number of years calculated by multiplying the useful life prescribed in Article 129 (Useful Life, etc. of Depreciable Assets) for a Depreciable Asset of the same kind as that asset by 1.5, by the number of years of that asset pertaining to that period. In this case, where a Depreciable Asset of the same kind as that asset falls under a Depreciable Asset listed in Article 134, paragraph (1), item (i), (a) or (c) (Special Provisions on Depreciation Allowance Based on Cumulative Amount of Depreciation), the amount so calculated is limited to the amount specified in (a) or (c) of that item according to the category listed in (a) or (c) of that item for that Depreciable Asset of the same kind.
