An engineer bought an equipment at P2,500,000. Delivery, installation, permits, etc. total P1,200,000. After 10years, it will sell for P500,000. By DBM, (approximate k to 2 decimal places) determine the total depreciation charge on its 5th year.
The declining balance method can be measured using the following formula
Cost of equipment = P 2,500,000
Delivery, installation, permits etc = P 1,200,000
Total book value = 2,500,000 + 1,200,000 = P 3,700,000
Depreciation rate = 18.14%
From the above schedule we can see the Depreciation charges of 5th year is P 301,386.20.
Converting it to thousands terms
Total Depreciation charge of 5th year = 301,386.20 /1000 = P 301.39 K
Total accumulated depreciation till 5th year = P 1,668.71 K
Accumulated depreciation can be calculated by adding the depreciation charges of 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5th year.
