Migrated a fixed asset into BC with these opening entries:
- 31-Jan-1991 — Acquisition Cost — 481,450.15
- 31-Dec-2024 — Depreciation — (409,232.44) (lump opening balance from legacy)
Setup: Straight-Line, start 31-Jan-1991, end 29-Jan-2031, 40 years, no salvage, no fixed %.
Expected 2025 dep: 481,450.15 ÷ 40 = 12,036.25
BC calculates: 11,877.00 — which equals (72,217.71 remaining NBV ÷ 2,190 remaining days × 360). So BC is spreading remaining NBV over remaining life, not applying cost ÷ life.
