Salvage Value Year Cost - Depreciation Used =Net Book Value Accumulated Depreciation 2006$20 000- 3 000= 17 0003 000 200717 0003 00014 0006 000 200814 0003 00011 0009 000 200911 0003 0008 00012 000 20108 0003 0005 00015 000 20 000 -5 000 5 years Expense I/S Keeps track of total deprecation “CONTRA ASSET” (CR)
