Fixed Assets Useful life of over one year Exist physically-tangible Owned and used in normal operations Not offered for re-sale

Revenue vs. Capital Expenditures Revenue Expenditure Ordinary repairs Ordinary maintenance Capital Expenditures Asset Improvements Adds service value to asset Extraordinary repair Extends assets useful life

Depreciation Systematic method to record the expense of an asset over its useful life Need: – Cost – Expected useful life – Estimated residual value Depreciation Expense – Expense Account Accumulated Depreciation – Contra Asset – The total of all depreciation to date

Straight Line Method Cost – Residual Value/ Useful Life

Double Declining Balance Method Determine Straight line rate Double the straight line rate Use this number to multiply the cost (Book Value)of the asset to get to first year depreciation Reduce the book value by the depreciation Use the doubled straight line rate and multiply by the NEW book value to get to next years depreciation. Continue process into future years

Disposal of Fixed Assets Book Value = Cost less Accumulated Depreciation Discarding Fixed Assets – Determine Book Value – This is the loss Selling Fixed asset – Determine Book Value – The difference is a gain or loss on sale
