The TWO main ideas on how to calculate depreciation: Straight Line Depreciation Declining Balance Depreciation
Straight Line Depreciation original cost – residual value ---------------------------------- years of life of the asset (Straight line depreciation spreads the use of our asset evenly over the amount of time it is used.)
Let’s say we bought a car… does it lose its value evenly? Declining Balance Let’s say we bought a car… does it lose its value evenly?
With declining balance, we take off a certain percentage each year. Year 1 Depreciation = 30% * $100,000 car = $30,000
Undepreciated Value of $70,000 Declining Balance Year 2 Depreciation Undepreciated Value of $70,000 x 30% = $21,000
Let’s look at a depreciation schedule… Declining Balance Let’s look at a depreciation schedule… 30% is taken off each year
Compare! (Straight Line vs. Declining Balance)

Note: Depreciation With the exception of Land, all fixed assets are expected to be ‘used up’ over a certain period of time. These assets decrease (or depreciate) in value. Methods of Depreciation Straight-Line depreciation divides the price of an asset over its useful life. (minus its salvage or residual value) Declining Balance method decreases the value of an asset by a pre-determined percentage each fiscal period.
The following ‘Depreciation Schedules’ compare the two approaches. Declining Balance
