Answer 1

public class Item {
  private String name;
  private String comment;
  private double itemCost;
  public Item(String name, String comment, double itemCost) {
    this.name = name;
    this.comment = comment;
    this.itemCost = itemCost;
  }
  public void depreciate() {
    setItemCost(0.95 * getItemCost()); // 100% - 5% = 95%
  }
  public void setName(String name) {
    this.name = name;
  }
  public String getName() {
    return this.name;
  }
  public void setComment(String comment) {
    this.comment = comment;
  }
  public String getComment() {
    return this.comment;
  }
  public void setItemCost(double itemCost) {
    this.itemCost = itemCost;
  }
  public String getItemCost() {
    return this.itemCost;
  }
  @Override
  public String toString() {
    return "{name: " + name + ", comment: " + comment + ", item cost: " + itemCost + "}";
  }
}
