Hi,
Can anyone explain how Straight Line Remaining Life Depreciation is calculated? I have a scenario where i change from straight line to straight line remaining life depreciation method after I have run depreciation using the first method and increase the Original Life.I can work out the calculations when i do not change the Original Life Years. However, if I increase the Original Life Years from 5-7 Years, I cannot derive to GP's calculation. Can anyone explain how does the calculation Rem Life Depreciation Calculation work when increasing the Original Life Years?
Sample calculations without changing Original Life
Initial figure 16,850 for 5 years. Therefore, 1 year is 3,370. 1 month is 280.83. I have depreciated 4 years and 8 months. If I only change the depreciation method, I will be able to get the figure correctly. That is derived from NBV 7,863.33 with 2 years and 120 days remaining Years and Days. Daily Rate calculated is 7,863.33/850=9.2509 (Daily Rate). Monthly rate is calculated as 7,863.33/28 Months = 280.83
NBV - daily * 120 | 6,753.21 | ||||
(NBV - daily * 120)/2 years | 3,376.61 | ||||
(NBV - daily * 120)/2 years/12 mth | 281.38 | future monthly dep cost after changed dep method |
Thanks, Suet
