Example problem (5)

Some seed cleaning equipment was purchased in 2009 for $8,500 and is depreciated by the
double declining balance (DDB) method for an expected life of 12 years. What is the book
value of the equipment at the end of 2014? Original salvage value was estimated to be $2,500
at the end of 12 years.

P=8500$ n=12years SV=2500$ t=(2014-2009)=5years

 In this case:

d=2/n= 2/12= 0.167

t-1
D5= d. P. (1-d) =0.167* 8500*(1-0.167) 5-1 = 683.463$
t 5
BV5=P. (1-d) =8500*(1- 0.167) = 3409.133$

Example problem (6)

Your company is considering the purchase of a second-hand scanning microscope at a cost of

$10,500, with an estimated salvage value of $500 and a projected useful life of four years.
Determine the straight-line (SL), sum of years digits (SYD), and double declining balance (DDB)
depreciation schedules.

P=10500$ SV=500$ n=4years

1.Straight Line Method, SLM:

D1= (P-SV)/n= (10500-500)/4=2500$

BV1=P-t.Dt =10500-1*2500=8000$

 Note:- In this method the book value is decreased by the same amount every year and the
yearly depreciation is constant throughout the life of the equipment( see the table_1 ).

= 10 t=1 years
i=1

n−t +1 4−1+1
D1= S * (P-SV) = 10 * (10500-500) = 4000$

t(n−0.5∗t+ 0.5) 1(4−0.5∗1+0.5)

BV1= P - S *(P - SV) = 105000 - 10 *(10500-500)= 6500$

 Note : In this method, the yearly deprecation is the highest initially, and then decrease with
the time .Normally, the book value of the equipment will decrease very fast to less than
1/3 the initial value during the first half-life of the equipment, and then the decrease
becomes much slower in later period ( see the table_1 ).

3. Double Decline Balance method, DDB:

d=2/n= 2/4= 0.5 t= 1 years

D1= d. P. (1-d) t-1 =0.5*10500 *(1-0.5) 1-1 = 5250$

BV1=P. (1-d) t =10500*(1- 05.)1 =5250$

 Note : The book value is decreeing exponentially with time( see the table_1 ).

Example problem (7)

A piece of machinery costs $5,000 and has an anticipated $1,000 resale value at the end of its
five year useful life. Compute the depreciation schedule for the machinery by the sum-of-
years-digits method.
