Step 6b - Assume the salvage value is $100. Determine if the asset value after depreciation is less than the salvage value by using the following formula:

Asset value of the month ($2290) - Depreciation for the month ($192.36) = $2097.64

Since the $2097.64 (the depreciated asset value) is greater than the salvage value ($100), the asset value for the month is $2097.64. Go to Step 6c. The management server repeats Steps 6a through 6c for 12 months (the delta from Step 3), unless the depreciated asset value reaches the salvage value or 0 if the salvage value is not specified.
