Causes of Depreciation of PPE
physical wear and tear; obsolescence
What are the Depreciation Methods?
- Straight-line
- Units-of-production
- Diminishing-balance
What is the asset’s final carrying amount?
Residual Value
Straight-line (SL)
Best for assets that generate revenue evenly
Annual Depreciation Expense = Cost - Residual Value / Useful Life in Units of Procution
Units-of-Production (UOP)
Best for assets that wear out because of use
Depreciation per Unit = Cost - RV / Useful life in Units of Production
Depreciation per Unit x Activity for Period = Depreciation Expense
Double-Diminishing-Balance (DDB)
Best for assets that generate revenue early in useful life
DDB rate = Straight-line rate x 2
DDB rate x Carrying Amount (Cost - Accumulated Depreciation)
Final year Depreciation = Carrying Amount at the Begg. of the final year - Residual Value
- This is the amount needed to reduce the book value until its RV.
- First-year depreciation is based on asset’s full cost
