Depreciation Methods (Straight Line, Sum Of Years Digits, Declining Balance Calculations)

Accounting for depreciation with the straight line method, sum of years digits method and declining balance method, example shows how to calaculate depreciation expense using each of these methods, for (1) straight line method calculate the full year based on (1/1) fiscal year determine the depreciation charge (cost minus salvage value divided by service life equals the depreciation charge per period, with straight line depreciation, depreciation expense is a function of time rather than a function of usage, (2) sum of years digit method calculate the depreciation fraction as the sum of years for the depreciation period or as the equation (n(n+1)/2 = sum of years), use the sum of years as the denominator dividing it into the remaining life and multiplying the fractional amount times the depreciation base equals the depreciation for the period, (3) using the declining balance method do not deduct the salvage value from the cost for computing the depreciation base, the depreciation rate is based on a percentage (multiple) of the straight line depreciation rate, double declining balance would be two times the straight line depreciation rate, depreciation expense for the period is calculated by multiplying the declining balance rate times the book value (carrying value) for the asset for each period, detailed calculations by Allen Mursau

In declining depreciation method , last year depreciation should be adjustable due to rule , cost minus salvage value 30400-16000 = 288000 At the end of year 7 accumulated depreciation is 263412 - 288000 = 24588 is the adjustable depreciation

[@lizyolanfred7227]

[@sreytouchkong8838]

I would like to say hello 🙏🙏 Teacher, I would like to ask a few questions related to the depreciation of Assets 1 / In case the company has bought a machine worth $ 3000 to use in the company, how does the company depreciate? Right? If we depreciate, set the machine life of 5 years 3000 $ / 5 years / 12 months = 50 $, the period of using the machine is 1 month and until the service life is still usable, do the companies stop depreciating? What if the machine is damaged during the demolition? 2 / A company bought a lot of machines to use in the business, but for many years, the company did not depreciate, and the company also began to depreciate during the non-depreciation, many machines repaired many messages. How many times do you make a depreciation without knowing the purchase life or price and overdue for many years by estimating the price?

[@1cabaretsolstice]

What if you plan to purchase 5 of the product but only one per year with 4 years depreciation each, and factor in all purchases within 8 years?

[@kiruhailu]

the purchase date is 10/1/20xx wouldnt that affect the depreciation expense for that year?

[@kamranali2542]

Appreciated (y)

[@reyhanrezaei8468]

thanks alot. very good explaining. but the i keep losing concentration on the video because the voice record was not so good. abit annoying. sorry .

[@duaibrahim8020]

thanks dear

[@ifazarifah6992]

how about declining balance which is not double? we just have to find straight line rate only?

[@김준수-y7k]

A perfect lecture better than the fat and lazy lecturer in my college

[@andrewagyeman3338]

🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@mikechipeta9810]

I don't understand where to get the 25%rate may you elaborate

[@brandongrupe7442]

Someone needs a tissue.

[@SuperJray16]

[@kaysha-leeknight6461]

SuperJray16 yeah

[@fairahmajeed4282]

Love u mam

[@chef-malumcastroes]

Hy sir can I ask a question

[@1cabaretsolstice]

When I do my fractions based on 5 year depreciation they come out with odd fractions that do not look like those in the video. However, the final numbers look right. Any suggestions?

[@harit7421]

That's right. They don't have to look like those in the video. As long as the final numbers are correct.

[@cutelurker1981]
