Introduction

Depreciation is an allowable expenses in general accounting purposes and


income tax accounting purposes. But it differ categorically from other
conventional expenses because depreciation charge does not occur any outflow
of business fund.

Depreciation allows for the companies to recover cost of an asset when it was
purchased. It allows the companies to cover the total cost of an asset over it’s
lifespan. This is important aspect in analyzing cost because it represents a
significant portion of expenses.

Introduction

This chapter deals with the different methods of


depreciation .The periodical amount of depreciation is
affected by the following factors;
1 . the cost of the asset;
2 . the life of the asset;
3. the expected residual value of the asset;
4. and, by the method of depreciation selected for
amortization of the
asset which must be systematic and rational.

Definitions

Depreciation - the decrease in the value of a physical


property with the passage of time.

Types of Depreciation
1.Physical depreciation – this is due to the reduction of
the physical ability of an equipment or asset to produce
results.
2.Functional depreciation – this is due to the lessening
in the demand for the function which the property was
designed to render.

134 ©2017 Batangas State University


Purpose of Depreciation

1. To enable the cost of depreciation to be included as a


cost in the production of goods and services.

2.Annual costs of depreciation are being put up in a fund


called depreciation reserve for replacement of the
property.

3. To recover capital invested in the property.

4.Provide as an additional capital termed as depreciation


reserve.

Properties Depreciable Assets

1. It must have a determinable life and the life must be


greater than 1 year.

2.It must be something used in business or held to


produce income.

3.It must be something that gets used up, wears out


decays, become obsolete, or loses its value due to natural
causes.

4.It must not be an inventory stock in trade or investment


property.

Depreciation Terminology

Initial Investment/First Cost (FC) – the cost of


acquiring an asset, including transportation expenses and
other normal costs of making the asset serviceable for its
intended use.
Book Value (BV)– worth of property or an asset as
shown on the accounting records of the company. It is the
original cost of the property less all allowable
depreciation deductions.
Salvage Value (SV)- the amount that will be paid by a
willing buyer to a willing seller for a property after
depreciation is competed.
137 ©2017 Batangas State University
Depreciation Terminology

Useful life (L)– the expected period that a property will


be used in trade or business to produce income.
Physical life – the length of time during which the
property is capable of performing the function
Economic life – length of time during which the property
may be operated at a profit.
Recovery period (n)– the number of years over which
the basis of property is recovered through the accounting
process.
Recovery rate (i)- a percentage for each year of the
recovery period that utilized to compute an annual
depreciation deduction.

1. Straight Line Method (SLM) –The simplest


depreciation method. this method assumes that the
loss in the value is directly proportional to the age of
the equipment or asset.

2. Sinking Fund Method (SFM) - This method assumes that
a sinking fund is established in which funds will accumulate
for replacement. The total depreciation that has taken place up
to any given times is assumed to be equal to the accumulated
amount in the sinking fund at that time.

3. Declining Balance Method. In this method, sometimes
called the constant percentage method or the Matheson
Formula, it is assumed that the annual cost of depreciation
is a fixed percentage of the salvage value at the beginning
of the year. The ratio of the depreciation in any year to the
book value at the beginning of that year is constant
throughout the life of the property and is designated by k,
the rate of depreciation.

Depletion

This method is generally applied in case of wasting assets


e,g, mines, quarries and natural resources. Here the rate of
production is measured by the rate of exhaustion of the asset.
Under this method the total reserve of asset is measured by
an expert valuer. After that the cost per unit of reserve asset
is ascertained by dividing the cost of acquisition of the asset
by the total reserve of that asset. Periodic depreciation is
calculated by multiplying the reserve of assets exhausted
during the period by the cost per unit of reserve asset. The
asset reduced to zero at ends of the total exhaustion, so the
method is known as depletion method.

Cost Depletion
The capitalized costs that generally go into the cost depletion basis for
petroleum and mining projects
are for mineral rights acquisition and/or lease bonuses or their
equivalent ascertained costs:

Depletion

Example 12. You own an oil property for which you paid
$150,000 in mineral rights acquisition costs last year.
Recoverable oil reserves are estimated at $1,000,000 barrels.
50,000 barrels of oil are produced this year and are sold for
$29.00 per barrel. Your operating and overhead expenses are
$180,000 this year and allowable depreciation is $120,000.
You expect the same production rate, operating costs, and
selling price next year. Calculate cost depletion for this year
and also next year assuming we do not use percent depletion
this year.

Solution;

172 ©2017 Batangas State University


Depletion
There are three steps involved in computation of depreciation under depletion method.
Step 1: Determination of the depletion base: The depletion base comprises of cost
incurred to acquire or lease the asset, exploration cost, development cost and any cost
incurred to restore the property to its original condition after the assets or resources have
been fully depleted.

Step 2: Computation of depletion rate per unit: The depletion rate per unit of a
natural resource or asset depends upon the total number of units expected to be
extracted. This is calculated by dividing the depletion base less salvage value (if any) by
the number of units expected to be extracted.
Depletion rate = (Depletion base – Salvage value)/Total units expected to be extracted

Step 3: Computation of depletion/depreciation charge: Finally, the units extracted


during the period are multiplied by the depletion rate per unit to compute the depletion
or depreciation charge for the period.
Depletion charge for the period = Units extracted during the period × Depletion rate

173 ©2017 Batangas State University


Depletion
The above three steps can be combined together to make the
following formula for computing depletion or depreciation
charge for a particular period.

Example 13: ABC Corporation extracts methane gas. It is expected


that the valley is rich in methane reserves and feasibility shows its of
high quality.

A piece of land is already decided and it will cost $1 million. The


survey and identification of drilling point is outsourced to a local
company for a price of $250,000. Site preparation will cost 100,000
and entity is under an obligation to restore the place to its natural state
once extraction concludes. It is estimated that plantation will cost
200,000 twenty years from now. (Ignore the time value effect)

With no salvage value, resource is estimated to hold 10 million cubic


feet of gas. In current period, ABC extracted 200,000 mcf of gas.
175 ©2017 Batangas State University
Depletion
Calculate depletion charge for the period
First lets calculate the cost
. As there is no scrap value therefore,
depreciable value is 1.55 million. In this
period, 200,000 mcf is extracted out of 10
(000) million. Therefore depletion charge can be
calculated as follows:
Land 1,000

Survey fee 250


Site preparation 100
Plantation 200

Total cost 1,550

Depletion
Example 14.
Considering the same example as above. Suppose, the next year latest survey
report tells that recoverable gas is lesser than previous estimate. It is found to be
only 8 million. In second year, entity extracted 500,000 mcf of gas.
If estimates change, then their adjustment is made prospectively by adjusting the
depletion rate and not retrospectively just like methods of depreciation in which
change of estimate is dealt prospectively.
The net book value for second year is 1,519,000 (1,550,000 – 31,000). With 8
million now in total and 500,000 mcf of gas extracted in second year, the
depletion charge will be calculated as following:

involved. The total coal expected to be extracted from the mine is 35,000 tons. During the year 2018, the
total extraction of coal is 5,700 tons. There is no salvage value.
Required: Using the above information compute:
the depletion rate per tone of coal extracted.
the depletion charge of the coal extracted during the year 2018.

10.A furniture company buys a forest to obtain wood for manufacturing furniture. The related costs to the
forest are:
Cost of buying the forest = $730,000,000
Wood expected to be extracted = 400,000 ton
Cost of restoration of the forest = $120,000,000
Residual/salvage value = $233,000,000
Trees cut in year 1 = 107,000 tons
Trees cut in year 2 = 89,000 tons
Compute the depletion rate and depletion charge for the first 2 years.
