Depreciation Calculation Example 1

Asset acquired at the beginning of the fiscal year using Fiscal Year basis.

System-Wide Configuration: Spread "Catch-Up" among Remaining Periods in FY

FY: Calendar Year (January to December)
New Asset: Acquired January 2000
Cost: $ 12,000
Depr Method: S/L 5 (20% each year). Fiscal Year Basis
Annual Depr: (Years 1 to 5) 12,000 * 20% = 2,400
Current FY/Pd: FY 2000 Pd: 1
Depr Yr/Pds Remaining: Depr YR:1 Pds Remaining: 12 (at time of initialization)

Basic Formula

Annual Depr

# Pds Remaining in FY

(Including Current Pd)

= Current Pd Depreciation
FY00 Pd1 (2,400 - 0) = 2400

12

= 200.00
FY00 Pd2 (2,400 - 200) = 2200

11

= 200.00
FY00 Pd3 (2,400 - 400) = 2000

10

= 200.00
FY00 Pd4 (2,400 - 600) = 1800

9

= 200.00
FY00 Pd5 (2,400 - 800) = 1600

8

= 200.00
FY00 Pd6 (2,400 - 1000) = 1400

7

= 200.00
FY00 Pd7 (2,400 - 1200 = 1200

6

= 200.00
FY00 Pd8 (2,400 - 1400 = 1000

5

= 200.00
FY00 Pd9 (2,400 - 1600 = 800

4

= 200.00
FY00 Pd10 (2,400 - 1800 = 600

3

= 200.00
FY00 Pd11 (2,400 - 2000 = 400

2

= 200.00
FY00 Pd12 (2,400 - 2200 = 200
