Depreciation—A Method of Cost Allocation
Depreciation is the accounting process of allocating the cost of tangible assets to expense in a
systematic and rational manner to those periods expected to benefit from the use of the asset.
Allocating costs of long-lived assets:
LO 1
•
Fixed assets = Depreciation expense
•
Intangibles = Amortization expense
•
Natural resources = Depletion expense

Factors Involved in the Depreciation Process
Three basic questions:
LO 1
1)
What depreciable base is to be used?
2)
What is the asset’s useful life?
3)
What method of cost apportionment is best for this asset?

Factors Involved in Depreciation
Estimation of Service Lives
LO 1
•
Service life often differs from physical life
•
Companies retire assets for two reasons:
1.
Physical factors (casualty or expiration of physical life).
2.
Economic factors (inadequacy, supersession, and obsolescence).

Methods of Depreciation
The profession requires the method employed be “systematic and rational.” Methods used include:
1.
2.
3.
Activity method (units of use or production).
Straight-line method.
Decreasing-charge methods (accelerated)
a.
b.
4.
Declining-balance method.

Sum-of-the-Years’-Digits. Each fraction uses the sum of the years as a denominator (5 + 4 + 3 + 2 + 1 = 15). The
numerator is the number of years of estimated life remaining as of the beginning of the year.

Methods of Depreciation
Illustration—(Four Methods): Maserati Corporation purchased a new machine for its assembly process on August 1,
2017. The cost of this machine was $150,000. The company estimated that the machine would have a salvage value of
$24,000 at the end of its service life. Its life is estimated at 5 years and its working hours are estimated at 21,000 hours.
Year-end is December 31.
Instructions: Compute the depreciation expense under the following methods.
(a)
Straight-line depreciation.
(b)
Activity method
(c)
Sum-of-the-years’-digits.
(d)
Double-declining balance.

Special Depreciation Methods and Other Issues
Special Depreciation Methods
Two methods of depreciating multiple-asset accounts exist:
•
Group method used when the assets are similar in nature and have approximately the same useful lives.
•
Composite method used when the assets are dissimilar and have different lives.
Choice of method depends on the nature of the assets involved.
The computation for group or composite methods is essentially the same: find an average and depreciate on that
basis.
