4th Week : DEPRECIATION SCHEDULE


4th Week : DEPRECIATION SCHEDULE

            Our topic for this week is about Depreciation. This talks about the lost value of physical assets or it refers to the decline in the value of an article, equipment, building or property due to wear and tear, or due to obsolescence.
A car, for example, decreases in value with the passing of time. Although repairs and replacements of some parts may, from time to time, help its operating efficiency, time will come when it is so worn out that it it’s the interest of economy to have it sold out or traded in.
Sample Problem:
                A person who* buys a 42,000 bantam car can trade it in four 18,000 four years later. The total depreciation, in this case, is 24,000. Spreading the total depreciation uniformly over 4 years , the yearly depreciation would be 6,000. This is so called straight-line method of arriving at the annual depreciation. The formula is:
                Yearly Depreciation = Original Cost – Scrap (or resale) value
                                                                No. of years of estimated life
The rate of depreciation, if desired, is ordinarily computed thus:
                Rate of Depreciation = Yearly Depreciation
                                                                Original Cost
Businessmen, in figuring out their net profit for the year, often include the amount of depreciation * of their equipment, building, furniture, etc. in their list of operating expenses, and these are deducted from their gross profit.
The yearly deposits into the depreciation fund are called depreciation charges. The depreciation fund is the portions of a given amount at the end of its useful life or the difference between the original cost of the asset and the sum in the depreciation fund is called the book value of the asset. At the end of the year.
Example:
A brand new phone was bought costing 9500 *pesos and has a usability for 4 years and it has a scrap value of 1500 (a) fine the average yearly depreciation. (b) prepare a depreciation scgedule showing the book from year to year.
SOLUTION
(a) the total depreciation is
                                Depreciation      = Cost – Scrap Value
                                                                = 9500 –1500 = 8000
The average yearly depreciation is
                                8000/8 = 1000
(b) the depreciation increases 1000 / year and the book value of the assets decreases by that sum each year. The depreciation schedule is shown as follows:

Example 2
 A machine which costs 20,000 has an estimated scrap value of 4000 and a probable life of 40,000 hours (a) find the depreciation charge per operating hour. (b) prepare a depreciation schedule showing the book value for each of the 4 years of the machine’s life during which the hours of operation were: 10,000, 9000, 12000, 15,000.
SOLUTION  The total depreciation is
                Depreciation = Cost – Scrap Value = 20,000 – 4000 = 16000
Then the charge per operating hour is
                16000/ 40000 = 0.40/hour
