u Fixed Percentage Method

Fixed percentage method can be used to calculate depreciation for a given period, or to calculate the depreciation rate.

I% YR1

FP1 = PV 100 12

I%

FPj = (RDVj–1+ FV ) 100

FPn+1 = RDVn (YR1G12)

RDV1 = PV FV FP1

RDVj = RDVj–1FPj

RDVn+1 = 0 (YR1G12)

FP j : depreciation charge for the jth year

RDVj : remaining depreciable value at the end of jth year

I% : depreciation ratio

u Sum-of-the-Year’s Digits Method

The sum-of-the-year’s-digits method calculates depreciation for a given period.

Z = n (n +1) 2

YR1 n' = n 12

Z' = (Intg (n' ) +1) (Intg (n' )+2 Frac(n' )) 2

RDV1 = PV FV SYD1

RDVj = RDVj –1SYDj

SYD j : depreciation charge for the jth year

RDVj : remaining depreciable value at the end of jth year
