* Depreciation start date
Calculation Method:
BV = Book value
ND = Number of depreciation days
DBP = Declining-balance percent
P = DBP/100
D = ND/360
The formula for calculating the depreciation amounts is:
DA = BV * (1 – (1 –P)D)
The depreciation values are:
| Date | Calculation |
|---|---|
06/30/00 |
DA = 100,000.00 * (1 - (1 - 0.25 )0.5) = 13,397.46 |
12/31/00 |
DA = 86,602.54 * (1 - (1 - 0.25)0.5) = 11,602.54 |
06/30/01 |
DA = 75,000.00 * (1 - (1 - 0.25)0.5) = 10,048.09 |
12/31/01 |
DA = 64,951.91 * (1 - (1 - 0.25)0.5) = 8,701.91 |
The calculation continues until the book value equals the final rounding amount or the salvage value that you entered.
