ACCOUNTING EQUATION ANDBALANCE SHEET
Balance Sheet: Gives a financial picture of what a company is worth as of particular date.
Assets Liabilities + Owner’s Equity
=
(How much the company owns)
(How much the owner is worth)
(How much the company owes)
Accounting Equation: Assets = Liabilities + Owner’s Equity
17-4
Estimated Useful Life –
Number of years or time periods for which the
company can use the asset
Depreciation –
An estimate of the use or deterioration of an asset
Asset Cost –
Amount paid for an asset including freight charges
CONCEPT OF DEPRECIATION
Accumulated Depreciation –
The total amount of the asset’s depreciation taken to
date
17-5
Residual Value (Salvage Value) - Expected cash value at the end of an asset’s useful life.
CONCEPT OF DEPRECIATION
Book Value - The unused amount of the asset cost that may be depreciated in future accounting periods.
Book value cannot be less than residual value.
Book value = Asset cost -- Accumulated book value

CAUSES OF DEPRECIATION
Product Obsolescence Physical Deterioration
17-7
STRAIGHT-LINE METHOD
Distributes the same amount of expense to each period of time.
Depreciation expense = Cost -- Residual value
each year Estimated useful life in years
Ajax Company buys equipment, the company estimates how many units the equipment can produce. Let’s assume the equipment has a useful life of 4,000 units. After 5 years the residual value is $500. Calculate depreciation expense and complete a depreciation schedule.
$2,500 -- $500 5
100% = 100%# of yrs. 5
= $400 = 20%

DEPRECIATION FOR PARTIAL YEARS
Assume Ajax Company bought equipment for $2,500. The estimated useful life is five years. The residual value is $500. What would be depreciation for the first year?
Depreciation expense each year =
$2,500 -- $500 = 5
15thRule
May, June, July, Aug, Sept., Oct., Nov., & Dec.
Cost -- Residual value Estimated useful life in years
$400 x 8 = $266.6712
17-10
UNITS-OF-PRODUCTION METHOD
Depreciation determined by how much the company uses the asset.
Depreciation expense = Cost -- Residual value per unit Total estimated units produced
Ajax Company (in Learning Unit 17–1) buys equipment, and the company estimates how many units the equipment can produce. Let’s assume the equipment has a useful life of 4,000 units. After 5 years the residual value is $500. Calculate depreciation expense and complete a depreciation schedule.
Depreciation = Unit x Units amount depreciation produced

Rate = 100% 5 years
Ajax Company (in Learning Unit 17–1) buys equipment, and the company estimates how many units the equipment can produce. Let’s assume the equipment has a useful life of 4,000 units. After 5 years the residual value is $500. Calculate depreciation expense and complete a depreciation schedule.
Depreciation expense = Book value of equipment x Depreciation each year at beginning of year rate
Accelerated method which computes more depreciation expense in the early years of the asset’s life. Uses up to
twice the straight-line rate.
DECLINING-BALANCE METHOD
x 2 = 40%

MODIFIED ACCELERATED COST RECOVERY SYSTEM (MACRS)
• Federal tax laws state how depreciation must be taken for income tax purposes.
• Provides users with tables giving the useful lives of various assets and the depreciation rates.
17-15
KEY POINTS OF MACRS
1. It calculates depreciation for tax purposes.
2. It ignores residual value.
3. Depreciation in the first year (for personal property) is based on the assumption that the asset was purchased halfway through the year. (A new law adds a midquarter convention for all personal property if more than 40% is placed in service during the last 3 months of the taxable year.)
4. Classes 3, 5, 7, and 10 use a 200% declining-balance method for a period of years before switching to straight-line depreciation. You do not have to determine the year in which to switch since Table 17.6 builds this into the calculation.
5. Classes 15 and 20 use a 150% declining-balance method before switching to straight-line depreciation.
6. Classes 27.5 and 31.5 use straight-line depreciation.
