Depreciation Terminology
16-2

Definition: Is the decrease in the value of property due to the use and

2012 by McGraw-Hill
passage of time
Two types: book depreciation and tax depreciation

All Rights Reserved


Book depreciation: used for internal accounting to
track value of assets
Tax depreciation: used to determine taxes due
based on tax laws
Common Depreciation Terms 16-3

First cost P or unadjusted basis B: Total installed cost of asset

2012 by McGraw-Hill
Book value BVt: Remaining undepreciated capital investment in year t
Recovery period n: Depreciable life of asset in years
Market value MV: Amount realizable if asset were sold on open market

All Rights Reserved


Salvage value S: Estimated trade-in or MV at end of assets useful life
Depreciation rate dt: Fraction of first cost or basis removed each year t

Personal property: Possessions of company used to conduct business


Real property: Real estate and all improvements
(land is not depreciable)
Half-year convention: Assumes assets are placed in service in midyear
Straight Line Depreciation 16-4

Book value decreases linearly with time

2012 by McGraw-Hill
B
Dt = n- S Where: Dt = annual depreciation charge

All Rights Reserved


t = year
B = first cost or unadjusted basis
S = salvage value
n = recovery period

BVt = B - tDt Where: BVt = book value after t years

SL depreciation rate is constant for each year: d = dt = 1/n


Example: SL Depreciation 16-5

An argon gas processor has a first cost of $20,000 with a


$5,000 salvage value after 5 years. Find (a) D3 and (b) BV3
for year three. (c) Plot book value vs. time.

Solution: (a ) D3 = (B S)/n
= (20,000 5,000)/5 (c) Plot BV vs. time
= $3,000 BVt
20,000

(b) BV3 = B tDt 11,000


= 20,000 3(3,000) 5,000
= $11,000

Declining Balance (DB) and
Double Declining Balance (DDB) 16-6

Depreciation
Determined by multiplying BV at beginning of year by fixed percentage d

2012 by McGraw-Hill
Max rate for d is twice straight line rate, i.e., d 2/n
Cannot depreciate below salvage value

All Rights Reserved


Depreciation for year t is obtained by either relation:
Dt = dB(1 d)t-1 = dBVt-1
Where: Dt = depreciation for year t
d = uniform depreciation rate (2/n for DDB)
B = first cost or unadjusted basis
BVt -1 = book value at end of previous year
Book value for year t is given by:
BVt = B(1 d)t
Example: Double Declining

Balance

A depreciable construction truck has a first cost of $20,000
with a
$4,000 salvage value after 5 years. Find the (a)

depreciation, and
(b) Solution:
book value after 3 years using DDB depreciation.
(a) d = 2/n = 2/5 = 0.4
D3 = dB(1 d)t-1
= 0.4(20,000)(1 0.40)3-1
= $2880

(b) BV3 = B(1 d)t


= 20,000(1 0.4)3
= $4320
Spreadsheet Functions for
Depreciation 16-8

2012 by McGraw-Hill
Straight line function: SLN(B,S,n)

Declining balance function: DB(B,S,n,t)

All Rights Reserved


Double declining balance function: DDB(B,S,n

Note: It is better to use the DDB function for DB and DDB


depreciation. DDB function checks for BV < S and is more
accurate than the DB function.
Switching Between Depreciation
Methods
Switch between methods to maximize PW of depreciation

t=n
PWD = Dt (P/F,i%,t)

t=1
A switch from DDB to SL in latter part of life is usually better

Can switch only one time during recovery period

Procedure to switch from DDB to SL:


1) Each year t compute DDB and SL depreciation using the
relations
DDDB = d(BVt-1) and DSL = BVt-1 / (n-t+1)
2) Select larger depreciation amount, i.e., Dt = max[DDDB,
DSL]
3)Alternatively, use spreadsheet
If required, calculatefunction
PWD VDB(B,S,n,start_t,end_t) to determine Dt

Depreciation

A finishing machine has a first cost of $20,000 with a $5,000

2012 by McGraw-Hill
salvage value after 5 years. Using MACRS, find (a) D and (b) BV
for year 3.

All Rights Reserved


Solution: (a) From table, d3 = 19.20
D3 = 20,000(0.1920)
= $3,840

(b) BV3 = 20,000 - 20,000(0.20 + 0.32 + 0.1920)


= $5,760

Note: Salvage value S = $5,000 is not used by MACRS and BV6 = 0

Depreciation
Depreciation based on usage of equipment, not time

Depreciation for year t obtained by relation

actual usage for year t


Dt = (B S)
expected total lifetime usage
Example: A new mixer is expected to process 4 million yd3
of concrete over
10-year life time. Determine depreciation for year 1 when
400,000 yd3 is processed. Cost of mixer was $175,000 with
no salvage expected.

Solution: D1 = (175,000 0) = $17,500

Depletion Methods 16-
12

Depletion: book (noncash) method to represent decreasing

2012 by McGraw-Hill
value of natural resources
Two methods: cost depletion (CD) and percentage depletion (PD)

All Rights Reserved


Cost depletion: Based on level of activity to remove a natural resource
Calculation: Multiply factor CDt by amount of resource removed
Where: CDt = first cost / resource capacity
Total depletion can not exceed first cost of the resource

Percentage depletion: Based on gross income (GI) from resource


Calculation: Multiply GI by standardized rate (%) from table
Annual depletion can not exceed 50% of companys taxable income (TI)
Example: Cost and Percentage
16-
Depletion 13

A mine purchased for $3.5 million has a total expected yield of one
million ounces of silver. Determine the depletion charge in year 4 when

2012 by McGraw-Hill
300,000 ounces are mined and sold for $30 per ounce using (a) cost
depletion, and (b) percentage depletion. (c) Which is larger for year 4?

All Rights Reserved


Solution: Let depletion amounts equal CDA4 and PDA4

(a) Factor, CD4 = 3,500,000/ 1,000,000 = $3.50 per ounce


CDA4 = 3.50(300,000) = $1,050,000

(b) Percentage depletion rate for silver mines is 0.15


PDA4 = (0.15)(300,000)(30) = $1,350,000

(c) Claim percentage depletion amount, provided it is 50% of TI
