Why Do We Need to Consider Depreciation?
Gross Income -Expenses:(Cost of goods sold)(Depreciation)(operating expenses)
Taxable Income
- Income taxes
Net income (profit)
Business Expense: Depreciation is viewed as part of business expenses that reduce taxable income.

Depreciation Concept
• Economic Depreciation
Purchase Price – Market Value(Economic loss due to both physical deterioration and technological obsolescence)
• Accounting DepreciationA systematic allocation of cost basis over a period of time.

Factors to Consider in Asset Depreciation
• Depreciable life (how long?)
• Salvage value (disposal value)
• Cost basis (depreciation basis)
• Method of depreciation (how?)
(c) 2001 Contemporary Engineering Economics
7
What Can Be Depreciated?
• Assets used in business or held for production of income
• Assets having a definite useful life and a life longer than one year
• Assets that must wear out, become obsolete or lose value
A qualifying asset for depreciation must satisfy all of the three conditions above. Can you depreciate land?

Cost Basis
Cost of new hole-punching machine (Invoice price) $62,500
+ Freight 725
+ Installation labor 2,150
+ Site preparation 3,500

Types of Depreciation
• Book Depreciation– In reporting net income to investors/stockholders– In pricing decision
• Tax Depreciation– In calculating income taxes for the IRS– In engineering economics, we use depreciation in
the context of tax depreciation
(c) 2001 Contemporary Engineering Economics

Book Depreciation Methods
• Purpose: Used to report net income to stockholders/investors
• Types of Depreciation Methods:– Straight-Line Method– Declining Balance Method– Sum of the Years’ Digits Method– Unit Production Method
(c) 2001 Contemporary Engineering Economics
13
Straight – Line (SL) Method
• Principle A fixed asset as providing its service in a uniform fashion over its life
• Formula•Annual Depreciation
Dn = (I – S) / N, and constant for all n.•Book Value
Bn = I – n (D)where I = cost basis
S = Salvage valueN = depreciable life

Summary
• The entire cost of replacing a machine cannot be properly charged to any one year’s production; rather, the cost should be spread (or capitalized) over the years in which the machine is in service.
• The cost charged to operations during a particular year is called depreciation.
• From an engineering economics point of view, our primary concern is with accounting depreciation; The systematic allocation of an asset’s value over its depreciable life.
(c) 2001 Contemporary Engineering Economics
36
• Accounting depreciation can be broken into two categories:1. Book depreciation—the method of depreciation used for financial reports and pricing products;2. Tax depreciation—the method of depreciation used for calculating taxable income and income taxes; it is governed by tax legislation.
• The four components of information required to calculate depreciation are:1. The cost basis of the asset,2. The salvage value of the asset,3. The depreciable life of the asset, and4. The method of its depreciation.
(c) 2001 Contemporary Engineering Economics
37
•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.
•Many firms select straight-line depreciation for book depreciation because of its relative ease of calculation.
(c) 2001 Contemporary Engineering Economics
38
• Depletion is a cost allocation method used particularly for natural resources. Cost depletion is based on the units-of-production method of depreciation. Percentage depletion is based on a prescribed percentage of the gross income of a property during a tax year.
• 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.

Component of
Depreciation
Book Depreciation Tax depreciation (MACRS)
Cost basis Based on the actual cost of the asset, plus all incidental costs such as freight, site preparation, installation, etc.
Same as for book depreciation
Salvage value
Estimated at the outset of depreciation analysis. If the final book value does not equal the estimated salvage value, we may need to make adjustments in our depreciation calculations.
Salvage value is zero for all depreciable assets
(c) 2001 Contemporary Engineering Economics

Component of
Depreciation
Book Depreciation Tax depreciation (MACRS)
Depreciable life
Firms may select their own estimated useful lives or follow government guidelines for asset depreciation ranges (ADRs)
Eight recovery periods– 3,5,7,10,15,20,27.5,or 39 years– have been established; all depreciable assets fall into one of these eight categories.
Method of depreciation
Firms may select from the following:
•Straight-line
•Accelerated methods (declining balance, double declining balance, and sum-of- years’ digits)
•Units-of-proportion
Exact depreciation percentages are mandated by tax legislation but are based largely on DDB and straight-line methods. The SOYD method is rarely used in the U.S. except for some cost analysis in engineering valuation.
