Prepare a depreciation
schedule using the
straight-line method.
Depreciation MethodsDepreciation Methods
• Straight-line
• Sum-of-the-years’-digits
• Double-declining-balance
• Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System
ExampleExample
For all illustrations in this appendix, we will assume that a delivery van was
purchased for $40,000. It has a five-year useful life and salvage value of $4,000.
Straight-line MethodStraight-line Method
Under this method, an equal amount of depreciation will be taken each period.
STEP #1: Compute the depreciable cost.

STEP #2: Divide the depreciable cost by the expected life of the asset.

It is often convenient to use a depreciation rate per year.

20% of the asset’s depreciable cost
will be recognized as Depreciation Expense each
year.

Prepare a depreciation
schedule using the
sum-of-the-years’-
digits method.
Sum-of-the-years’-digitsSum-of-the-years’-digits
• Depreciation is determined by multiplying the depreciable cost by a schedule of fractions.
• The numerator (top) of the fraction for a specific year is the number of years of remaining useful life.
• The denominator (bottom) of the fraction is determined by adding the digits of the years of the estimated life of the asset.
Sum-of-the-years’-digitsSum-of-the-years’-digits

Remember, Depreciable Cost = Original Cost – Salvage Value.

This is measured from the beginning of the year. For example, to calculate the first year’s depreciation…we would say there are 5 years

Prepare a depreciation
schedule using the
double-declining-
balance method.
Double-declining-balance MethodDouble-declining-balance Method
• The book value is multiplied by a fixed rate
Often double the straight-line rate
• Once the book value is reduced to the expected salvage value, no more depreciation may be recognized.
• Similar to the sum-of-the-years’-digits depreciation method, larger amounts of depreciation are taken in the early years of the asset’s life.
Double-declining-balance Method Double-declining-balance Method
FORMULA:

Cost – Accumulated Depreciation = Book Value
For an asset’s first year depreciation,Book Value = Original Cost.

Prepare a depreciation
schedule for tax purposes
using the modified
accelerated cost recovery
system.
Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System
• Used for tax purposes
• The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) classifies various assets according to useful life and sets depreciation rates for each year of the asset’s life
• These rates are then multiplied by the cost of the asset
• Abbreviation: MACRS
MACRS ExampleMACRS Example
A delivery van was purchased for $40,000. It has a five-year useful life
and salvage value of $4,000.
The IRS would give this van a six-year life and no salvage value.
