FAQ

1. The four methods for calculating depreciation allowable under GAAP include straight-line, declining balance, sum-of-the-years' digits, and units of production. 2. The best method for a business depends on size and industry, accounting needs, and types of assets purchased.

Depreciation can be calculated on fixed assets in excel by: For straight-line depreciation method: =SLN (cost, salvage, life).

Depreciation Expense = (Cost ? Salvage value) / Useful life. Periodic Depreciation Expense = Beginning book value x Rate of depreciation. Depreciation Expense = (Number of units produced / Life in number of units) x (Cost ? Salvage value)

In the straight-line method, the depreciation amount is a constant percentage of the basis, equal to d=1/n. For a useful life of 5 years, the depreciation rate (d) for years 1 through 5 is 1/5, 1/5, 1/5, 1/5, 1/5. The total sums to 5/5 or 100%.

To calculate depreciation using the straight-line method, subtract the asset's salvage value (what you expect it to be worth at the end of its useful life) from its cost. The result is the depreciable basis or the amount that can be depreciated. Divide this amount by the number of years in the asset's useful lifespan.
