Asset Life Value Accounting Question

Imagine a company invests in an asset and reaps an annual revenue of 1,000 for 10 years; the useful life of asset is 5 years for the accounting purpose, but the asset is still useful after Year 5. The annual operating expenses is 400 and has a tax rate of 30%. Walk through the 3 financial statements in Year 1 and Year 6.

Not sure how to think about this -- is there still depreciation of 200 for 5 years? Thanks.
