Takeaways
- 📈 Depreciation refers to the decrease in value of fixed assets, while amortization refers to the decrease in value of intangible assets.
- 🔍 Causes behind depreciation include normal wear and tear, age, or technological innovations that render an asset obsolete.
- 💼 Depreciation impacts the financial position of a business by affecting the business's results and financial statements.
- 🔢 Factors affecting depreciation include cost, useful life, scrap value, and the number of production units or years.
- 💵 The cost in depreciation is the total of the purchase price, installation charges, and any related expenses, minus any refundable taxes.
- 📊 Depreciation amount is calculated using the formula: Cost - Scrap Value.
- 📚 Two main methods for calculating depreciation are the Straight Line Method and the Written Down Value Method.
- 🔄 When using the Written Down Value Method, the value of depreciation decreases each year as it is calculated on the revised book value.
- 🏭 The Double Declining Balance Method and Sum of the Years' Digits Method are also used, with the former being suitable for assets with high repair costs increasing over time.
- 💻 The Machine Account or Production Unit Method allocates depreciation based on the total useful life of an asset, considering the proportion of its use each year.
