Calculations
The declining balance is based on a declining coefficient, as illustrated in this table:
Declining Coefficient |
Probable Asset Life |
Declining Rate |
---|---|---|
1.5 |
3 and 4 years |
50 and 37.5 percent |
2 |
5 and 6 years |
40 and 33.33 percent |
2.5 |
More than 6 years |
2.5 * life percent |
Subtract half of the basis in the year before the total number of years.
Use the remaining basis for calculations.
