The reduction in the value of an asset over time

Important to put it onto the balance sheet as we can see the real value of the asset over time

40
Q

Straight-line method of depreciation

A
  • The amount that an asset decreases every year is the same
  • Each year the asset depreciates by the same amount every year
  • (Original value - expected residual value) / Expected future life of asset
41
Q

Pros and Cons of Straight-line method of depreciation

A
  • Simple to calculate and understand
  • Useful for small-value assets which won’t have a significant impact on the balance sheet
  • Generally unrealistic - assets usually lose more value in earlier years
42
Q

Units of production method of depreciation

A
  • The assets depreciate according to the amount of production
  • The more an asset is expected to be used in a year, the more depreciation will be recorded

Formula: (Units of production in one year/total life units of production) x (Original value - expected residual value)

43
Q

Pros and Cons of Units of production method of depreciation

A
  • More depreciation in years of heavy use
  • More accurate
