DEPRECIATION & ITS WORKING ON ASSET / EQUIPMENT
DEPRECIATION IS A FIXED AMOUNT OF THE ASSET VALUE ( EQUIPMENT PURCHASE
VALUE) THAT iS WRITTEN OFF EVERY YEAR, FROM THE BOOKS OF ACCOUNT & THE
ASSET VALUE DECREASES EVERY YEAR DURING ITS LIFE SPAN, THIS IS DONE AS THE
EQUIPMENT / ASSET WEARS OFF, DURING ITS VALUE EVERY YEAR ? ITs MARKET VALUE
‘GOES DOWN ACCORDINGLY. SUCH AMOUNT OF DEPRECIATION, 1s SHOWN AS
EXPENDITURE IN THE BOOKS OF ACCOUNT.
THE METHODS DEPLOYED IN DEPRECATION ARE AS UNDER.
STRAIGHT LINE METHOD
UNIT PRODUCTION METHOD
DOUBLE DECLINE METHOD
DECLINING BALANCE METHOD
Peep
LET US UNDERSTAND THESE METHODS, WITH EXAMPLES HOWEVER WE NEED TO
UNDESTAND CERTAIN TERMINOLOGIES, BEFORE THAT.
PURCHASE VALUE ~ THIS IS THE VALUE OF THE ASSET WHILE IT WAS PROCURED, WHICH
INCLUDES ITS PRICE WITH ALL LEVIES / TAXES, TRANSPORTATION COST, ERECTION AND
COMMISSIONING COST. IT IS NORMALLY DESIGNATED AS“ P “
RESIDUEL VALUE — IT IS THE COST OF THE EQUIPMENT, AT THE END OF ITS LIFE PERIOD,
WHICHIS NORMALLY ITS SALEVALUE T THEEND OF ITS LIFE . IT IS NORMALLY DESIGNATED

1. STRAIGHTLINE METHOD —THE OTHER NAME FOR THIS IS UNIFORM DEPRECIATION:
METHOD, WHERE IN THE DEPRECIATION DEDUCTED EVERY YEAR Is SAME.
- HERE THE DEPRECIATION PER YEAR =( P - R)/L
2 EX. COST OF DUMPER PURCHASED 15 RS 20 LAKHS, LIFE OF THE SAME IS 9 YEARS &
RESIDUEL VALUE IS RS 2LAKHSSO THE DEPRECIATION PER YEAR IS =( 20-2 )/9 = 2 LAKHS.
SO THE WOV 4WRITTEN DOWN VALUEJOF THIS DUMPER AFTER 1 YEAR IS 20-2 = 18 AKIS,

WDV AFTER 2 YEARS WOVIS 18-2 = 16¥EaRS *”
sen?
WOV AFTER 3 YEARS WDVIS 16-2 = 14.YEARS ¥ SO ON. SO YOU FIND HEREIN THIS METHOD
THE DEPRECIATION Is UNIFORM (AND SO IT S NAME STRAIGHT LINE OR UNIFORM

EX. ASSET PROCE 10000/-
UFE SPAN 9 YEARS
INO OF UNITS IT CAN PRODUCE DURING ITS LIFE SPAN IS 9000
NO OF UNITS PRODUCED IN ITS 1ST YEAR IS 2000
NO OF UNITS PRODUCED IN ITS 2ND YEAR IS 1500
RESIDUEK VALUE 1000/-
SO THE DEPRECIATION AT THEEND OF ITS 1 YEAR = (10000~ 1000)/ 9000 x 2000 = 2000/-
SO WDV AFTER 1 YEAR = 10000- 2000 = 8000/-

3. DOUBLE DECLINE METHOD —IN THIS METHOD THE DECLINE IN ASSET VALUE IS
FASTER AS COMPARED TO THE STRAIGHT LINE METHOD. THIS METHOD IS USED ‘
ESPECIALLY IN THE ASSETS , WHERE IN THE EQUIPMENT OBSOLESCENCE OR THE
EQUIPMENT GETTING QUTDATED IS VERY HIGH, AS THE DEPRECIATION ATHIGHER:
RATE IS ALREADY DEPRECIATED.
SIMILARLY THE PROJECTS WHICH HAVE HIGHER PROFITS IN THINITIAL YEAR AND LOWER <
IN TH ELATER YEARS, THIS METHOS SUITS AS THE ASSETS IS ALREADY DEPRECIATED
DURING INITIAL YEARS WHEN PROFIT IS HIGH AND AS SUCH , THE PROFIT IS NOT UNDER
PRESSURE IN LATER YEARS AS THE DEPRECIATION THEN IS LOWER IN THIS METHOD,

DECLINING BALANCE METHOD- THIS IS SIMILAR TO THE DOUBLE DECLINE METHOD ,
BUT INSTEAD OF DOUBLE DECLINE, HERE IT IS VARIABLE % OF DECLINE, WHICH IS CHOSEN
DIFFERENT AS PER THE REQUIREMENT
SO HERE THE DECLINING BALANCE DEPRECIATION =A(1/L)(P~AD)
DECLINE %
L = LIFE OF EQUIPMENT
P= PURCHASE COST
‘AD = ACCUMULATED DEPRECIATION
STEPS TO BE FOLLOWED IN THIS METHOD -
STEP 1. IDENTIFY ASSETS OPENONG VALUE pr
STEP 2. DEPRECIATIONG RATE AS PER STRAIGHT LINE METHOD = uy Ae
STEP 3. IDENTIFY DECLINE % WHICH IIS = STRAIGHT LINE DEPRECIATION RATE TO WORK
(OUT THE DECLINE DEPRECIATION RATE
|EPRECIATION RATE = DECLINE X STRAIGHT LINE RATE
SO DECLINE DI
EXPENSE = DECLINE DEPREIATION RATEX
STEP 4, DECLINE BALANCE DEPRECIATION
ORIGINAL BOOK VALUE oR
= DECLINE DEPRECIATION RATE X (.COST- ACCUMULATED
STEP 5. SUBSTRACT DEPRECIATION EXPENSE FROM OPENING BOOK VALUE 7 CHECK THAT
IT IS NOT LESS THAN ITS SALVAGE VALUE.
DEPRECIATION }EXAMPLE - ASSET VALUE 20000/-, LIFE 5 YEARS, SALVAGE VALUE ~ 4500/-
STRAIGHT LINE DEPRECIATION = 1/s =0.2 = 20%
DOUBLE DECLINE METHOD RATE 2x 20% = 40%
DEPRECIATION ON 1 ST YEAR = 40/100x 20000 = 8000/-
$0 BOOK VALUE AFTER 1 YEAR = 20000-8000 =12000/-
DEPRECIATION FOR 2 YEAR = 40/100x 12000 = aso0/-
‘$0 BOOK VALUE IN THE BEGINNIN OF 3% YEAR = 20000-8000-4800 = 7200/-
DEPRECIATION FOR 3 RD YEAR 40/100x 7200 =2880/.
SO THE BOOK VALUE AFTER 3 YEARS —
