## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability asic-straight-line-daily-depreciation-single-calculation-211fa176 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you calculate the straight-line daily depreciation on an ASIC miner I bought for $3,000, with a residual value of $300 at end of life over 900 days?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a quick, deterministic single-report calculation of straight-line daily depreciation for a single ASIC mining device. It is ideal for accounting, tax record preparation, or hardware profitability analysis when you have a fixed purchase price, known residual/scrap value, and an estimated useful life in days. Prefer this over general-purpose financial calculators when you specifically need ASIC mining hardware depreciation with transparent formula disclosure and a low per-call cost.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required fields (purchase_usd, residual_usd, or life_days) returns a validation error
- life_days of zero or negative value is rejected (exclusiveMinimum: 0)
- purchase_usd of zero or negative value is rejected
- Payment not received or invalid USDC amount may result in 402 Payment Required
- Extremely large values near the schema maximum may produce floating-point precision edge cases

## How this service works

ASIC straight-line daily depreciation — Single calculation: Single calculation for ASIC straight-line daily depreciation. Supplied mining assumptions only; formula and units disclosed. No live prices, mining or guaranteed return. Specialised preset in a shared 50-profile, 20-operation engine. 0.01 USDC includes one bounded single calculation report.

## Output

Returns a single calculation report containing the computed daily straight-line depreciation amount for the ASIC mining device, based on the supplied purchase price, residual value, and useful life in days. The result reflects the formula (purchase_usd - residual_usd) / life_days with no live pricing or guaranteed return figures included.
