Prepare a depreciation

schedule using the

straight-line method.

Depreciation MethodsDepreciation Methods

• Straight-line

• Sum-of-the-years’-digits

• Double-declining-balance

• Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System

ExampleExample

For all illustrations in this appendix, we will assume that a delivery van was

purchased for $40,000. It has a five-year useful life and salvage value of $4,000.

Straight-line MethodStraight-line Method

Under this method, an equal amount of depreciation will be taken each period.

STEP #1: Compute the depreciable cost.

$40,000 $4,000 = $36,000

STEP #2: Divide the depreciable cost by the expected life of the asset.

It is often convenient to use a depreciation rate per year.

will be recognized as Depreciation Expense each

year.

schedule using the

sum-of-the-years’-

digits method.

Sum-of-the-years’-digitsSum-of-the-years’-digits

• Depreciation is determined by multiplying the depreciable cost by a schedule of fractions.

• The numerator (top) of the fraction for a specific year is the number of years of remaining useful life.

• The denominator (bottom) of the fraction is determined by adding the digits of the years of the estimated life of the asset.


FORMULA:

DEPRECIABLE COST

Remember, Depreciable Cost = Original Cost – Salvage Value.


FORMULA:

DEPRECIABLE COST ×

YEARS REMAINING

This is measured from the beginning of the year. For example, to calculate the first year’s depreciation…we would say there are 5 years

remaining.

schedule using the

double-declining-

balance method.

Double-declining-balance MethodDouble-declining-balance Method

• The book value is multiplied by a fixed rate

Often double the straight-line rate

• Once the book value is reduced to the expected salvage value, no more depreciation may be recognized.

• Similar to the sum-of-the-years’-digits depreciation method, larger amounts of depreciation are taken in the early years of the asset’s life.

Double-declining-balance Method Double-declining-balance Method

FORMULA:

Cost – Accumulated Depreciation = Book Value

For an asset’s first year depreciation,Book Value = Original Cost.

Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System

• Used for tax purposes

• The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) classifies various assets according to useful life and sets depreciation rates for each year of the asset’s life

• These rates are then multiplied by the cost of the asset

• Abbreviation: MACRS

MACRS ExampleMACRS Example

A delivery van was purchased for $40,000. It has a five-year useful life

and salvage value of $4,000.

The IRS would give this van a six-year life and no salvage value.
