Asset Depreciation Methods
Straight-line Method
The straight line depreciation method is a technique new users often learn first. That is due to it being one of the simplest to work out an asset's loss of value over time. Our Asset Tracking System will calculate the cost and subtract the scrap value.
Then, it divides it by the estimated value of life. This will equal to the yearly depreciation expense value.
Sum Of Years Method
The Sum-of-Years Method enables users to write off higher depreciation expenses in the earlier years of useful life. The depreciation amount drops in later years. Our Asset Tracking System determines the depreciation expense. The remaining life of an asset is divided by the Sum Of Years and then multiplied by the depreciating base.
Double Declining Method
The Double Declining Method is ideal for assets whose primary usefulness is in the early years of life. Our Asset Tracking System multiplies 2 times the estimated number of years. Then, it divides by 1 and multiplies it by the book value which will equal the depreciation expense.
