Depreciation

Note: pressing < on the last item of a sub-menu returns you to the Year item, not to the top of the sub-menu (see Figure

1). By scrolling through all the items of a sub-menu, you incrementally advance the Year item. This allows you to see the

depreciation schedule for the next year without additional entries.

Brief descriptions of the methods used to calculate depreciation are provided in Table 9-1. Table 9-2 describes the items

found in the depreciation sub-menus. For an example calculating depreciation using the straight-line method, see Table 9-3.

Table 9-1 Depreciation Methods

Depreciation Method Description

Sline

Straight line is a method of calculating depreciation presuming an asset loses a certain

percentage of its value annually at an amount evenly distributed throughout its useful life.

SOYD

Sum-of-the-years' digits is an accelerated depreciation method.

In SOYD, the depreciation in year

is (Life-Y+1)/SOY/100% of the asset, where

SOY

the sum-of-the-years for the asset, or, for an asset with a 5-year life, 5+4+3+2+1=15.

DecBal

Declining balance is an accelerated depreciation method that presumes an asset will

lose the majority of its value during the first few years of its useful life.

DBXover

Declining balance crossover is an accelerated depreciation method that presumes an

asset will lose the majority of its value in the first few years of its useful life, but that it will

revert to a consistent depreciation during the latter part of its life, which is then calculated

using the straight line method.

French SL

Straight line French. This method of depreciation is similar to the Straight line method,

except an actual calendar date in the selected format is entered in for

Start

to indicate

when the asset was first placed into service.

Amort F

French amortization. This method is an accelerated depreciation method with a

crossover to the French Straight Line method.
