Book Depreciation Methods • Purpose: Used in reporting net income to stockholders/investors • Types of Depreciation Methods o Straight-line method o Declining balance method o Unit production method Contemporary Engineering Economics, 6 e, GE Park Copyright © 2016, Pearson Education, Ltd.

Straight-Line (SL) Method q Principle: A fixed asset as providing its service in a uniform fashion over its life q Formula q Example: • I = $10, 000 • S= $2, 000 • N= 5 years o Annual depreciation Dn = (I − S) / N, and constantfor all n. o Book value Bn = I − n (D) where I = cost basis S = Salvage value N = depreciable life Contemporary Engineering Economics, 6 e, GE Park Copyright © 2016, Pearson Education, Ltd.

Declining Balance (DB) Method q Principle: A fixed asset as providing its service in

Declining Balance (DB) Method q Principle: A fixed asset as providing its service in a decreasing fashion q Formula q Example: o o I = $10, 000 S = $778 N = 5 years α = 0. 40 where 0 <α<2(1/N) Contemporary Engineering Economics, 6 e, GE Park Copyright © 2016, Pearson Education, Ltd.

Example 9. 5: DB Switching to SL q. Given: o o Depreciation Base =$10,

Example 9. 5: DB Switching to SL q. Given: o o Depreciation Base =$10, 000 Salvage Value = 0 Depreciation rate = 200% DB Depreciable life = 5 years q Without Switching q. Find: When switching to SL • SL Dep. Rate = 1/5 • α = (200%) (1/5) = 0. 40 Contemporary Engineering Economics, 6 e, GE Park Note: Without switching, we have not depreciated the entire cost of the asset and thus have not taken full advantage of depreciation’s tax deferring benefits.

Case 2: S>BN • No further depreciation after n” • Example: S = $2, 000 Note: Tax law does not permit a business to depreciate assets below their salvage value. Contemporary Engineering Economics, 6 e, GE Park Copyright © 2016, Pearson Education, Ltd. All Rights Reserved

Units-of-Production Method q Principle: Service units will be consumed in a non-timephased fashion. • Given: I = $55, 000, S = $5, 000, total service unit = 250, 000 miles, service units consumed = 30, 000 miles • Find: Dn • Solution: q Formula: I = Initial investment S = Salvage value Contemporary Engineering Economics, 6 e, GE Park Copyright © 2016, Pearson Education, Ltd.

Tax Depreciation q Purpose: To determine the income taxes owed for the IRS •

Tax Depreciation q Purpose: To determine the income taxes owed for the IRS • Assets placed in service prior to 1981 o Used the book depreciation methods (SL, DB, SOYD) • Assets placed in service from 1981 to 1986 o Used the ACRS (Accelerated Cost Recovery System) Table • Assets placed in service from 1986 to present o Used the MACRS (Modified ACRS) Table Contemporary Engineering Economics, 6 e, GE Park Copyright © 2016, Pearson Education, Ltd.

Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery Systems (MACRS) q Personal Property • Depreciation schedule based on the DB method switching to SL • Half-year convention • Zero salvage value q Real Property • SL Method • Mid-month convention • Zero salvage value Contemporary Engineering Economics, 6 e, GE Park Copyright © 2016, Pearson Education, Ltd.

Comparison Between DDB with Switching to SL and MACRS Method q Conventional DDB Method

Comparison Between DDB with Switching to SL and MACRS Method q Conventional DDB Method o o Cost basis: $10, 000 Salvage value: $0 Depreciable life: 5 years DB rate: 200% q MACRS Method o Property class: 5 -year o Salvage value: $0 o Half-year convention Contemporary Engineering Economics, 6 e, GE Park Copyright © 2016, Pearson Education, Ltd.

MACRS for Real Property q Types o 27. 5 -year (residential) o 39 -year

MACRS for Real Property q Types o 27. 5 -year (residential) o 39 -year (commercial) q SL Method q Mid-month convention q Zero salvage value q Example: D 1 = (9. 5/12)(100%/27. 5) = 2. 8788% Placed a residential property in service in March. Find the depreciation allowance in year 1. Contemporary Engineering Economics, 6 e, GE Park Copyright © 2016, Pearson Education, Ltd. All Rights Reserved

Depletion • Depletion is the physical reduction of natural resources (not time-phased). • Two types of depletion o Cost depletion o Percentage depletion Contemporary Engineering Economics, 6 e, GE Park Copyright © 2016, Pearson Education, Ltd. All Rights Reserved

Cost Depletion q Concept: Units-ofproduction method q Cost depletion formula Contemporary Engineering Economics, 6 e, GE Park Example: o Cost basis = $120, 000, o Total recoverable volume = 1. 5 MBF o Amount sold this year = 0. 5 MBF o Allowed depletion this year?

Percentage Depletion q Concept: Based on a prescribed percentage of the gross income from the property during the tax year q Example 9. 11 • Given: • Solution q Basis = $30 million, q Total recoverable volume = 120, 000 ounces of gold, q Amount sold this year = 18, 000 ounces, q Gross income = $16, 425, 000, q Depletion expenses = $12, 250, 000 • Find: Maximum depletion allowance Contemporary Engineering Economics, 6 e, GE Park Copyright © 2016, Pearson Education, Ltd.

Summary • Because it employs accelerated methods of depreciation and shorter-than-actual depreciable lives, the MACRS (Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System) gives taxpayers a break: It allows them to take earlier and faster advantage of the tax -deferring benefits of depreciation. • The total amount of taxes to pay remains unchangedregardless of depreciation methods adopted. It only changes the timing of the payment. Contemporary Engineering Economics, 6 e, GE Park Copyright © 2016, Pearson Education, Ltd. All Rights Reserved

Summary • Many firms select straight-line depreciation for book depreciation because of its relative ease of calculation. • Given the frequently changing nature of depreciation and tax law, we must use whatever percentages, depreciable lives, and salvage values mandated at the time an asset is acquired.
