Good morning peeps...
I have reached office and here I am, if all still interested here are the 3 methods in detail:
Scenario, you bought a 1DX @ S$8,500/-. You determine that it is useful for 5 years and after the 5 years there is a residual value (RV) of S$1,500/- left.
Note: Accumulate depreciation (Acc Dep) & Net Book Value (NBV)
Using the Straight line method:
Cost of equipment - RV ÷ 5 years
= S$8,500 - S$1,500 ÷ 5
= S$1,400/- depreciation charge per year
Year 1 depreciation (2013) = S$1,400; Total Acc Dep = S$1,400; NBV = S$5,600
Year 2 depreciation (2014) = S$1,400; Total Acc Dep = S$2,800; NBV = S$4,200
Year 3 depreciation (2015) = S$1,400; Total Acc Dep = S$4,200; NBV = S$2,800
Year 4 depreciation (2016) = S$1,400; Total Acc Dep = S$5,600; NBV = S$1,400
Year 5 depreciation (2017) = S$1,400; Total Acc Dep = S$7,000; NBV = S$0 (Fully depreciated)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Since you determined it to have a RV of S$1,500/- left, you decided to put on CS B&S Section on 2017 to sell by bidding. By a stroke of luck, you managed to sell at S$2,000/- the different in amount is income gain thru sales of depreciated equipment.
After note: I am not a cerified public accountant (CPA). This serves only as a guidance for general knowledge. Thanks.
