APPENDIX

EXAMPLE OF A YEARLY DEPRECIATION CALCULATION

  • Equipment with a purchase value of $65,000.
  • For 2008 to 2009 = $6,500 / 12 = $541.67 per period
  • August 2009:
    • Asset Opening Bal = Balance of the depreciation in 2009-2010 is still $65,000 because no acquisitions have been added and there have not been any partial disposals in 2008-2009 or since July 2009. Therefore: Asset Opening Bal = Current Asset Balance
    • Opening Depr. = The depreciated balance at the beginning of the year is $6,500.
    • Additions of Year and Disposals of Year. = This year, there is no amount to be depreciated on acquisitions or to be deducted disposals, therefore $0.00.
    • Depr. for the Year = The depreciation for the year is therefore the amount in July 2009, or $541.67.
    • Current Accum Depr Bal. = The current accumulated depreciation is there for $7,041.67.
    • Balance to Depr. = The balance to be depreciated is $65,000 (full value) – $7,041.67 (depreciation to date).
    • Accum Depr Prev Per. = The accumulated depreciation for the year in the preceding period is $547.67, the amount for July 2009.
    • Current Per. Depr. = The depreciation for the current period (August 2009) is $541.67.
    • A.A.D. = The accumulated depreciation since the beginning of the year is $1,083.34.
