Depreciation Chapter 13
Depreciation Allocating the total cost of an asset over the years of a business that will benefit from its use. Scrap Value - value of the asset after number of years after expected use
2 main methods of Depreciation Straight-Line Method Reducing Balance Method
Straight-Line Method Original Cost less Estimated Scrap Value Number of years of expected use = Annual Depreciation Charge
Depreciation on the Financial Documents Net Book Value (NBV) - the current value of an asset (original cost less accumulated depreciation) Also called Net Book Amount (NBA) or Written. Down Value (WDV) Shown as an expense on Profit and Loss account Shown as a reduction of asset on Balance Sheet.
Example Bob buys a van for £ 10, 000. He expects to use it for 4 years and then sell it for £ 2, 000. What is the annual depreciation? What is the NBV after 3 years? What is the depreciation annual percentage of original cost?
Reducing-Value Method 1 st years - Original Cost less Set Percentage After 1 st year - NBV less Same Percentage Set Percentage is usually double the rate of Straight-Line Method cost percentage.
Example Bob buys the same van but uses the Reducing Value Method. What is rate of depreciation? What is the NBV at the end of 4 years? Two methods to fix this: Simplify the last year Use formula on bottom of page 175.
Choosing a Method Why Straight-Line? Simpler and uses Matching Convention better. Why Reducing Balance? Accurately shows the value over the years (vehicles especially) and offsets high maintenance costs at the end of the life of an asset.
