3:21 You missed this as an opportunity to describe that the $1000 comes OFF the fixed tangible asset value on the balance sheet.

[@BrianFeroldiYT]

Hmmm.....yeah, that the balance sheet is carried at book value. Good point.

[@robertmariano]

After watching this video, I realized that M.C. Hammer wrote a song about amortization, U Can't Touch This

[@BrianFeroldiYT]

Lol

[@sitrakaforler8696]

Clear ! Precise !

[@BrianFeroldiYT]

Glad it helped!

[@stefanogattoCH]

Let's take the Coffee Shop example. It's a tangible fixed asset, right? So are they going to depreciate it? At what percentage per year? What about the land component of it? Can we depreciate it as well, or not at all? Are there differences between countries (I am based in Switzerland)?

[@BrianFeroldiYT]

You are correct that there are details far beyond what I covered in this video. This is just just a general overview. There are actually multiple methods for depreciation.

[@exuconton]

So, you write off the book value of brand name linearly over 15 years. What is the book value of Amazon or Tesla then?

[@christen1075]

What I don't get is the numbers don't appear to add up precisely. And isn't that what double entry bookkeeping/accounting is suppose to project? I mean, balance to the nearest nickel? You buy new PPE at $560,731. You depreciate at $319, 394. Difference is $241,337. Add that to the ending Balance Sheet of 31 Dec 22 of $1,951,147 and you get $2,192,484, not $2,170,038. Trying NOT to be the star pupil at the Beneke Fabricators IRS skool of "you got some 'splainin' to do". I took basic accounting in 1969 before calculators (still have my slide rule tho)

[@OmegaRejectz]

1000th like. Thanks for the video!

[@BrianFeroldiYT]

You rock!

[@whitevanman8703]

So what is the difference between amortization for FORD and MFST?

[@BrianFeroldiYT]

You’d have to dig into their SEC filings to find that out

[@T-1000v3ai]

how about covering a stock

[@BrianFeroldiYT]

I’m not sure what you mean. I gave an example in the video.

[@kebugcheck]

Why do this instead of just marking the purchase of coffee maker as expense and getting full benefit that very year.

[@BrianFeroldiYT]

What you’re describing is Cash accounting. This is accrual accounting. Imagine that instead of a coffee maker it’s a building that last 30 years. Should you expense it on your one or spread it out over the 30 years?
