DEPRECIATION
Depreciation requires an I.B.M. PC/XT/AT/PS2 or compatible
computer. For a hard copy presentation, a printer configured as LPT1
is also required.
How to Use
The initial cost of an asset includes all expeditures necessary
to get it in place and ready for use. Unnecessary expeditures
resulting from carelessness, vandalism, or other abnormal causes
should be excluded. For example, if an asset is damaged while it is
being readied for use, the expenditure required to repair the asset
should be charged as an expense of the period.
All assets except land lose their usefulness with the passage of
time. The several factors that contribute in varying degrees to this
decline are wear, the action of the elements,inadequacy,and
obsolescence. Accordingly, the cost of such assets should be charged
to expense in a systematic manner during their useful life. This
expense that is periodically matched against revenues is called
depreciation. The factors to be considered in computing the periodic
depreciation of an asset are its:
1. Cost
2. Salavage value
3. Estimated period of usefulness
DPRC10, offers the user three methods of determining the
depreciation of an asset. The I.R.S. usually requires that once you
chose a method of depreciation for an asset, that you stay with that
method for the depreciable life of that asset.
DOUBLE DECLINING BALANCE METHOD
This method provides a steadily declining periodic
depreciation charge over the estimated life of the asset. Of the
several variants to this method, the one customarily used applies
twice the straight-line depreciation rate without regard to residual
value. For example, if the useful life of an asset is five years, the
depreciation rate is 40% (20% * 2). For the first year the rate is
applied to the cost of the asset. In succeeding years it is applied to
the declining book value (cost minus accumulated depreciation).
SUM OF THE YEARS DIGITS METHOD
This method also provides a steadily declining periodic
depreciation charge over the estimated life of the asset. This is
accomplished by applying a successively smaller fraction each year to
cost less residual value. The numerator of the changing fraction is
the number of remaining years of life and the denominator is the sum
of the digits representing the years of life.
STRAIGHT-LINE METHOD
This method provides for equal periodic charges to expense over
the estimated life of the asset.
