Fixed assets Straight line remaining life

Posted on by Microsoft Employee

Hi,

I have a customer who is using the straight line remaining life method for their assets depreciation calculation and there is something that we don't understand.  They have an asset that they have been depreciated for a couple of years (Orig.life 10 years and remaining 5 years and 263 days).  This month, they entered some costs amount to this same asset and adjust the cost basis and when they received the message for recalculating the asset, they answered Recalculate to adjust the future depreciation amounts only.  We were expecting that depreciation amount for the next 68 months would have been Net book value / 68 months but it looks like the recalculation is made for the complete year and that the depreciation for the remaining months of the actual year is adjusted for the complete year that have been recalculated even if we choose RECALCULATE and not YEAR. Any idea why it is calculating it this way?

Thanks
