Step 1: Assemble the Column Headers in Row 1 of the Spreadsheet. Create a new Excel spreadsheet file and assemble the following information in Row 1 of the spreadsheet. Step 2: Enter the Depreciation Expense Formulas. Step 3: Enter the Accumulated Depreciation Formulas.
You'll need three columns: The first column registers the depreciation deduction (aka depreciation expense) you plan to take each year. The second column shows the depreciation that has accumulated at the end of each year. The third column logs the book value of the asset at the end of each year.
The annual depreciation amount using the straight-line method is calculated by dividing the total depreciable amount by the total number of years of an asset's useful life. In this case, it comes to $800 per year ($4,000 Total Depreciation / 5 Years Useful Life = $800 Annual Depreciation).
The most common way to calculate depreciation is the straight-line method.
To record an accounting entry for depreciation, a depreciation expense account is debited and a contra asset account (accumulated depreciation) is credited. Apart from this, businesses need to understand where and how the entries go on financial statements, and the depreciation method they should use.
