As an accountancy student in South East Asia, a prime challenge of learning Accountancy is understanding the language of the standards, because man they are really really confusing. But stuff like this makes it a bit more bearable, AND understandable. I really hope you cover more topics soon, and if possible, start a series targeted specifically for us students as well.

Second time this year your videos have saved my butt in accounting!! Your breakdowns are amazing, clear concise and actually give more insight into "what if" scenarios than the prescribed textbooks my professor recommended! Not only do you explaining the concept itself, you're showing the different ways of application and how it will affect the books. Thank you so much for making these videos - YOU'RE AWESOME!!

You need education to understand a falling linear funktion. You learn that in 6th grade (the function not the accountability/ to calculate the net profit of your company investment )

[@lksjdflksjdf1784]

Hey, thanks for this great video! Currently studying a Cert 4 in Bookkeeping & Accounting during this isolation, and your explanations has helped me solidify these concepts (as my learning guide I've been given are rife with grammatical errors and misspelt words, to add to my confusion even further!) Just a question regarding pro rata - how can your formula adapt to calculate pro rata? My layman's understanding is pro rata helps you depreciate your purchase by taking into account the actual time you have owned it, for example purchasing something halfway through the year. I'm presuming the formula would be different for the first and last year of ownership, if the asset is sold and then lastly scrapped half way through the year. Eager to hear your thoughts, as you succinctly present seemingly complex concepts in accounting (well, it sure seems complex to me!)

[@sandrine964]

Thank you James for thoses wonderfull videos. Why did you use a residual value? Where I work we depreciate 100% of the Asset cost.. is there some Accountancy Rule to define this value? Thanks!

[@stuiedaman]

This works great if you bought the asset on 1/1/xx, any other day not so much

[@JohnGrattafiori]

Hello, do you have a video journaling fixed asset depreciation with salvage value?

[@AccountingStuff]

I cover the journals in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/laHEpGR7iceloJo

[@IrfanKadi]

James your videos are excellent, I wanted to know if you have or plan to make videos that explain all the stock marketing RATIOS. PE Ratio, EPS etc. You explain things in very simplified manner with actual examples due to which a non-accounting person like me also understands. So I am really looking forward to videos that explain the ratios.

Thanks for your suggestion! Yes I'd like to create a whole series on this topic. It's in the works :)

Great video as usually! I was struggling with this calculation and I’m still trying to understand. Just 1 question, If a company buy the machine on July 1, the machines supposed can use 9 years.
