Depreciation-Introduction
• Depreciation is the gradual change in the value of an asset.

Construction Equipment •
•
For any machine, wear and tear is inevitable.
The wear and tear can not be completely avoided, only minimized.

Management
• The efficiency reduces with time and the machine finally becomes unusable
after a certain time.
• Development of new technologies also makes older equipment obsolete.
• Hence it is important to set aside some money from the annual profit so that

Session 17 – Equipment Depreciation Analysis from the accumulated fund.
• The fund maintained for the purpose of replacing the equipment at the end of
its useful life is called ‘Depreciation Fund’ or ‘Sinking Fund’.
• Depreciation is also important for taxation purpose.

Straight Line Depreciation for any year Calculating Depreciation – Sum of the Years Method
• This method uses sum of the years of life as the basis of calculation.
• This leads to a higher rate of depreciation initially which reduces progressively.
• As tax rebate is applicable to depreciation of assets, this method of accounting will give
higher tax benefits in the early years of the economic life of the asset.

• SOY = (1+2+3+……+n) =

• Annual rate of depreciation (R ) =

(ℎ𝑒𝑟𝑒, 𝑚 = 𝑟𝑒𝑠𝑝𝑒𝑐𝑡𝑖𝑣𝑒 𝑦𝑒𝑎𝑟 𝑜𝑓 𝑐𝑎𝑙𝑐𝑢𝑙𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 & 𝑁 = 𝑤𝑜𝑟𝑘𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑙𝑖𝑓𝑒)
• Total Depreciation (D) = (P – E)
• Annual Depreciation for the year m (D ) = (P – E)X R
• Book Value of the Asset for the year ( BV ) = BV -D

• Asset having initial cost of Rs. 2 Lakh, Salvage value of 50000/- at the end of economic life
of 5 years. Determine the annual depreciation and the book value at the end of each year
during the economic life of the equipment.
• From Table, SFDF = 0.1638
