7.Key in the number of months in the first year and press t.* The display will show the amount of depreciation for the desired year. If desired, press ~to see the remaining depreciable value then press

:$=:3-~-:M³to find the total depreciation from the first year through the current year.

8.Press t for the amount of depreciation and remaining depreciable value for the next year. Repeat this step for the following years.

9.For a new case, press gi000 and return to step 2.

Note: If the number of months in the first calendar year is less than 12, the amount of depreciation in the 1st year will be less than a full year’s depreciation. The actual number of years that depreciation will occur is equal to the life +1. For example, a drill has a life of 3 years and is purchased 3 months before the year-end. The following time diagram shows that depreciation will occur over 4 calendar years.

Example 1: A property has just been purchased for $150,000. The purchase price is allocated between $25,000 for land and $125,000 for improvements (building). The remaining useful life of the building is agreed to be 25 years. There is no salvage value forecasted at the end of the useful life of the building. Thus, the depreciable value and book value is $125,000.

The building was acquired 4 months before the end of the year. Using straight-line depreciation, find the amount of depreciation and remaining depreciable value for the 1st, 2nd, 25th, and 26th years. What is the total depreciation after 3 years?

*The display will pause showing the year number before showing the amount of depreciation for that year.
