A Depreciation Examples

This appendix contains these topics:

The user defined depreciation methods for Japan (SV, Z1, Z2, W1, W2, T1 and T2,), exemplified in this appendix, with the exception of J1, are based on the following values:

Method Value
Financial Year Start: January

End: December

Cost as of 01/01/97 1,000,000
Salvage Value rate 10 percent of Cost
Asset Life 36 months (3 years)
Fixed depreciation rate 33 percent
Depreciation start date 01/01/97
Depreciation calculated Annually
Formula for final (3rd) year depreciation Cost less YTD Accumulated Depreciation
Formula for Salvage Value S01 = 10 percent of Cost
Formula for Basis B01 = Cost less Salvage Value
