Example of Annuity Depreciation and Interest Calculation

This example shows you how assets with an annuity depreciation method, a life of 24 months, and an annuity interest rate of 8 percent depreciate each period.

For these assets:
  • Calculation Basis: The monthly depreciation expense amount and annuity interest amount is calculated by applying the rate on the net book value at the end of the month.
  • Net Book Value: Cost minus Depreciation Reserve minus Impairment Reserve.
    Note: The annuity interest amount isn't included in the net book value calculation.

In this example, you add an asset and it depreciates until the end of its life.

This table shows the cost and depreciation information for the asset:
Asset Details Value
Cost 70,000.00
Life in Months 24
Annual Interest Rate 8%
Monthly Interest Rate 0.00643403

In this example, you add an asset, perform cost adjustments, and the asset depreciates until the end of its life:
  • Asset is added in month 1
  • Positive cost adjustment in month 15
  • Negative cost adjustment in month 20
