Depreciation is the reduction in the cost of
an asset used for business purposes during certainamount of time due to:
usage, passage of time, wear and tear, technologicaloutdating or obsolescence, depletion, inadequacy,
rot, rust, decay or other such factors. The allowance for wear and tear on equipment and
machinery
Amount of decreasing value in a capital asset allowedto be deducted from a business tax return
Cost Recovery

Depreciation is the rupee amount subject todepreciation.
It is determined as:
Original cost of the asset less
Estimated salvage or disposal value

Salvage value Salvage value is the estimated value of an asset at the
end of its useful life. In accounting, the salvage valueof an asset is its remaining value after depreciation.
This is also known as residual value or scrap value.
It is the net cash inflow that occurs when the asset isliquefied at the end of its life.

Some concepts For historical cost purposes, assets are recorded on the
balance sheet at their original cost; this is called thehistorical cost. Historical cost minus all depreciation
expenses recognized on the asset since purchase iscalled the book value
Book value is the remaining unallocated cost of anasset or:
Book Value = Historical Cost - AccumulatedDepreciation

A vehicle that depreciates over 5 years, is purchased at acost of US$17,000, and will have a salvage value
of US$2000, will depreciate at US$3,000 peryear: ($17,000 $2,000)/ 5 years = $3,000 annualstraight-line depreciation expense.

Straight-Line Most often used in book depreciation where the object is to
minimize depreciation expense in order to maximize netincome.
Tax depreciation is normally not based upon straight linedepreciation since other methods will generally maximizetax depreciation expense which tends to minimize taxespayable.
Straight line depreciation results in a constant depreciationexpense each year.

D. Unit of Production
Used in situations where the loss in servicevalue is more closely related to use or numberof units produced rather than time.
Most commonly associated with machinery andequipment involved in producing naturalresources where the physical life of theequipment exceeds the economic or productionlife of the natural resources.

These methods result in higher depreciationexpense in the earlier years and lower charges
in the later years.

A fixed percentage of the book value is used tocalculate the depreciation, which must be written offeach year.
If the life span of an asset is for instance, 5 years, and isnormally calculated as 20% the percentage needs to bedoubled to 40% in this case.
The fixed percentage must be used to calculate thepercentage on the reduced or diminished balance atthe beginning of the applicable year.

Declining balance This is one of the few methods which does not take the
salvage value directly into account. It also is anaccelerated method.
Most property except certain used property and realestate has been accorded the treatment of doubledeclining balance which may be stated as:
DDB =(2/Useful Life)(Historical Cost - AccumulatedDepreciation)
A constraint is that the accumulated depreciationcannot exceed the historical cost less salvage value.

Declining balanceIt is possible to find a rate that would allow for full
depreciation by its end of life with the formula:
here N is the estimated life of the asset (for example, in
years).

DDB Example:
$10,000 Historical Cost1,000 Salvage Value
10 Year Useful LifeA constraint is that the accumulated depreciation cannot exceed
the historical cost less salvage value.
As one can see the use of DDB may not result in full allocation of thedepreciable base (historical cost less salvage value). We never got
down to our $1,000 target!

The problem that we encountered in the $1,000 salvage
value case can be corrected with the combination orcomposite depreciation method of declining balancedepreciation switching when advantageous to straight-linedepreciation.
The conversion occurs when the straight-line depreciationproduces an equal to or greater charge in some year than
with declining balance depreciation.
The straight-line is based upon the book value at the
beginning of that year less salvage value divided by theremaining useful life at the beginning of the year.

A fraction is multiplied by the depreciable base toarrive at the depreciation expense per period.
The fraction is:
1. Numerator: number of years remaining in the assetslife as of the beginning of the period.
2. Denominator: sum of the years in the life
3. For example, a 5 year life property would havedepreciation expense for the first year as:
4. (Cost Salvage value) X (n+1-k)/
15 (computed as
5+4+3+2+1)

Conclusion As previously indicated one normally wants to maximize
the depreciation for tax purposes.
However, there are examples of companies that would be in
a constant net operating loss condition if they used theaccelerated depreciation methods.
Therefore, close examination of the company situation isrequired when examining the methods for book and tax
depreciation.
