16. CHAPTER Factors In Calculating Depreciation Copyright John Wiley & Sons Canada, Ltd. 16 9 Illustration 9-2

17. CHAPTER 1 Depreciation Methods Straight-line – Used by the majority of Canadian publicly- traded companies Diminishing-balance Units-of-production 9 Copyright John Wiley & Sons Canada, Ltd. 17

18. CHAPTER 1 Example – Depreciation Methods A delivery van was bought on Jan. 1, 2012 Cost $33,000 Estimated residual value $3,000 Estimated useful life (in years) 5 Estimated useful life (in kilometres) 100,000 9 Copyright John Wiley & Sons Canada, Ltd. 18

19. CHAPTER Depreciation is constant for each year of the asset's useful life Straight-Line Method Copyright John Wiley & Sons Canada, Ltd. 19 9 Illustration 9-3

20. CHAPTER 1 Diminishing-Balance Method Produces a decreasing annual depreciation expense over an asset’s useful life – Depreciation is calculated based on the asset’s carrying amount, which diminishes each year as accumulated depreciation increases Annual depreciation expense is calculated by multiplying the carrying amount by the depreciation rate – Residual value is not included in the calculation Can be applied using different rates – Depreciation rate = Straight-line rate x multiplier 9 Copyright John Wiley & Sons Canada, Ltd. 20

21. CHAPTER Diminishing-Balance Method (Continued) Copyright John Wiley & Sons Canada, Ltd. 21 9 Illustration 9-5

22. CHAPTER 1 Units-of-Production Method Useful life is expressed in terms of total units of production or activity expected from the asset – Such as units produced or machine-hours worked Useful for factory machinery, vehicles, airplanes 9 Copyright John Wiley & Sons Canada, Ltd. 22

27. CHAPTER 1 Disposals of Property, Plant, and Equipment 1.Update depreciation – Depreciation for the fraction of the year to the date of disposal must be recorded 2.Calculate carrying amount – Carrying amount = Cost – Accumulated depreciation 3.Calculate gain or loss – Proceeds – carrying amount = gain (loss) Copyright John Wiley & Sons Canada, Ltd. 27 9 Proceeds > carrying amount = Gain (Cr.)

30. CHAPTER 1 Accounting for Intangible Assets Accounting for intangible assets parallels accounting for tangible assets – Recorded at cost including all costs to make asset ready for use If intangible asset has a finite (limited) life, its cost must be systematically allocated over its useful life – For intangible assets, this is referred to as amortization rather than depreciation Intangible assets with an indefinite (unlimited) life are not amortized 9 Copyright John Wiley & Sons Canada, Ltd. 30

31. CHAPTER 1 Amortization for Intangibles Amortize over shorter of – Estimated useful life – Legal life Test for impairment 9 Copyright John Wiley & Sons Canada, Ltd. 31
