FA Amortization Calculation
Scenario
Date Place in Service - 01 Aug 2012
Cost - 1188000
life 5 yrs
Prorate convention - Full year depreciation in year of purchase
Assets migrated to FA on Oct 2013
However in Feb -2014 users want to change the life of Assets from 5 years to 4 years effective as from 1 Jan- 2013
This is the result of my calculation
01 Aug - 31 Dec 2012 - Full year depreciation 237600 NBV 950400
01 Jan - 31 dec 2013 - Remaining life changed to 3 years Yearly Depreciation 950400/3 = 316800 NBV = 633600
Jan - 2014 Monthly depreciation = 316800/12 = 26400
Feb- 2014 Monthly depreciation = 26400
