Management Depreciation - Balances Reduction

This method allows assets accelerated depreciation, applying a constant rate in remaining balance.

It is necessary to enter a saving value, as in other forms balance, in the first calculation, it would be zeroed.

If necessary to zero asset value, depreciation must be changed to linear method. It can happen at any moment of asset life and not only when balance reduction method is concluded.

The following fields must be filled out: Deprec. Per. (N3_PERDEPR) and Sav. Vl. (N3_VLSALV1), which establish asset useful life and saving value respectively.

 

Calculation features:

Saving value must be entered

Rate is constant and applied to residual values instead of asset original value

If method is maintained until asset useful life end, residual value is equal to saving value

 

Formulas to establish the rate:

Depreciation rate = 1- (VS/VO)1/n

Where:

VS = saving value

VO = original value

n = period in months (if it is monthly, in years or annual depreciation)

 

Example of monthly depreciation calculation:

Acquisition value                30,000.00

Useful life (months)                36

Saving value                3,000.00

 

Rate = 1-(3,000.00/30,000.00)1/36 = 1-(0,1)1/36 = 1- 0.9380418666 = 0.0619581334

Example of annual depreciation calculation:

Asset Value                30,000.00

Useful life (years)        5.00        

Vacation amount        3,000.00

Rate = 1-(3,000.00/30,000.00)1/5 = 1-(0,1)1/5 = 1- 0.63095734 = 0.36904
