Calculate the straight-line depreciation for an asset for one period.
The depreciation amount is the same in all periods through the end of its useful life.

Example: What is the straight-line depreciation for one year of an asset that costs $2,000, has a useful life of 5 years, and has a value of $200 at the end of those five years? $360. 
    StraightLineDepreciation(2000, 200, 5) = 360
