Question:Victoria bought a car for $50,000 on January 01st 2010. The depreciation rate for the year was
5%.
What is the net book value of the car at the
end of year 2?
CALCULATING THE DEPRECIATION
Depreciation = Rate x The Value of
the Asset
Year 1 = 5% x $50,000 = $2,500
NET BOOK VALUE (NBV)
NBV = Cost (NBV) – Depreciation
Year 1: NBC = $50,000 - $2,500
= $ 47,500
CALCULATING THE DEPRECIATION
Year 2 = 5% x $47,500 = $2,375
NET BOOK VALUE (NBV)
Year 2: NBV = $47,500 - $2,375
= $ 45,125
NBV at the end of Year 2
Year 1: Depreciation = 5% x $50,000
=$2,500
NBV = $50,000 - $2,500
= $47,500
Year 2: Depreciation = 5% x $47,500
= $2,375
NBV = $47,500 - $2,375
= $45,125
STEPS IN CALCULATING THE NET BOOK VALUE (NBV) OF AN ASSET PER YEAR – REDUCING BALANCE METHOD
Step 1: Identify the cost of the asset, the depreciable rate and the number of years
Step 2: Calculate the depreciation for year 1
Step 3: Calculate the NBV for the end of year 1(Beginning of year 2)
Step 4: Calculate the depreciation for year 2 using the NBV from the end of year 1
Step 5: Calculate the NBV for the end of year 2 (Beginning of year 3)

Method of Depreciation Reducing Balance
This method of depreciation involves multiplying the asset carrying amount by the depreciation rate to calculate the depreciation that can be claimed in that year.
NB: The carrying amount is the current value of the asset.
QUESTION: Calculation of Depreciation
Thomson bought an Audi for $500,000. The car depreciates 10% per annum (reducing balance).
1. Determine the Net Book Value at the end of year 2?
NBV at the end of Year 2
Year 1: Depreciation = 10% x $500,000
=$50,000
NBV = $500,000 - $50,000
= $450,000
Year 2: Depreciation = 10% x $450,000
= $45,000
NBV = $450,000 - $45,000
= $405,000
