Reducing Balance Depreciation
As time passes, the economic benefits of non-current assets will be used up
or consumed by the business.

Sundry Creditors
• Non-current assets are expensive.• Buying them on credit is like having a short
term interest free loan.• But they are not stock so non-current assets
are not recorded in the Purchases Journal.• Nor are they cash.• So record them in the General Journal.

PaymentThe payment will be cash so record it in the Cash Payments Journal.
Note: the payment includes GST but the GST was recorded when the sale was made so don’t record it again.

Revision of Straight Line Method of Depreciation
Reminder that GST is excluded from the calculation of
Depreciation as it does not effect the ability of the Non
Current Asset to make a profit.

Historical Cost
The value of the non current asset does not change in the Balance
Sheet.

Depreciation ExpenseStraight line method
And Depreciation Expense is calculated on Historical Cost.
![Page 9: Reducing Balance Depreciation As time passes, the economic benefits of non-current assets will be used up or consumed by the business](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062317/5a4d1b087f8b9ab05998931f/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Straight line depreciationIt is assumed that the amount of the non-current asset used up each year is the same and therefore so is the amount of depreciation.

The value of the non current asset STILL does not change in the
Balance Sheet.

Depreciation ExpenseReducing method
The Depreciation Expense is calculated on Carrying Value.

Reducing balance depreciationThis method assumes that the amount of the non-current asset used up each year decreases and therefore so is the amount of depreciation.
![Page 16: Reducing Balance Depreciation As time passes, the economic benefits of non-current assets will be used up or consumed by the business](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062317/5a4d1b087f8b9ab05998931f/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Reducing balance
• This method is calculated using a rate e.g. 27.52%.
• So the Historical cost X the rate.• $10,000 x 27.52% = $2,752
• But it is not $2,752 every year because the rate is applied to the Carrying Value in the second year – not the Historical cost.

The effect on the Financial Reports
• Is the same as for Straight line;– Depreciation still reduces profit & Owner’s
Equity– Accumulated Depreciation still reduces Non
Current Assets– And neither affect Cash Flow because there is
no money involved – it is a non cash transaction.

Which methods are being used to depreciate these assets?
![Page 27: Reducing Balance Depreciation As time passes, the economic benefits of non-current assets will be used up or consumed by the business](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062317/5a4d1b087f8b9ab05998931f/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Accounting Principle
• Consistency demands that once a method of depreciation is chosen, that method should be used from one reporting period to the next.
![Page 28: Reducing Balance Depreciation As time passes, the economic benefits of non-current assets will be used up or consumed by the business](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062317/5a4d1b087f8b9ab05998931f/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Qualitative Characteristic
• Comparability is achieved in the reports if consistent depreciation methods are used.
• This allows reports to be compared from one period to the next.

1. Identify the method of depreciation each of the graphs best represents.
![Page 31: Reducing Balance Depreciation As time passes, the economic benefits of non-current assets will be used up or consumed by the business](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062317/5a4d1b087f8b9ab05998931f/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
1. Identify the method of depreciation each of the graphs best represents.
• Graph 1 illustrates an asset which is depreciation by the same amount each year.
• Graph 2 illustrates an asses which is depreciation by a reducing or smaller each year i.e. the amount of depreciation expense in 2011 is less than in 2010, and the amount in 2012 is less than for 2011.

2. Describe the type of non-current asset that would be best suited to each type of depreciation.
![Page 33: Reducing Balance Depreciation As time passes, the economic benefits of non-current assets will be used up or consumed by the business](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062317/5a4d1b087f8b9ab05998931f/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
2. Describe the type of non-current asset that would be best suited to each type of depreciation.
• Graph 1 illustrates the type of depreciation appropriate for an asset which contributes to revenue evenly over its useful life e.g. furniture and fittings.
• Graph 2 illustrates the type of depreciation appropriate for an asset which contributes more to revenue when it is new and contributes less as it approaches the end of its useful life e.g. computers or equipment.

3. Graph 1 relates to Display Stands with a historical cost of $90,000. Show how the asset would appear in the Balance Sheet on 31st December 2011.
Note the amount of Depreciation is shown so
$20,000 + $20,000 = $40,000 by 31st December 2011
