Variables
P = Purchase price
F = Salvage Value
Zero for tax purposes
N = Recovery period (years)
Set by code for tax purposes

3
Variables
Rm = Percentage of depreciation taken in year m
Dm = Depreciation for year m
BVm = Book value at the end of year m
Book value equals the purchase price less the depreciation recorded to date

4
Straight-Line
Depreciates uniformly over the life of the asset
Annual depreciation
Dm = (P – F)/N
Book Value
BVm = P – m(Dm)
-or-
BVm = BVm-1 – Dm

Sum-of-the-Years
Accelerates depreciation
Annual depreciation
Dm = (P – F)Rm
Rm = (N – m + 1)/SOY
SOY = N(N + 1)/2
Book Value
BVm = BVm-1 – Dm

Declining-Balance Method
Accelerates depreciation
Annual depreciation
Dm = (BVm-1)Rm
Rm = 2.00/N for 200% declining-balance
Rm = 1.50/N for 150% declining-balance
Book Value
BVm = BVm-1 – Dm

9
Declining-Balance Method
Does not automatically reach salvage value
Must stop depreciation at salvage value when book value goes below salvage value
- or -
Must switch to straight-line depreciation when the straight-line depreciation for the remaining years is greater than declining-balance depreciation

Find correct recovery period for asset across top of table
Percentages are percentage of asset value depreciated during the year
not the percent of the previous year’s book value
