Issue in depreciation calculation
We have two identical assets with the following details:
Gross value 25875
Accumulated depreciation 9895
salvage value 1293.75
Date in service 20-Jul-10
Date of calculation 01-Apr-14
Asset 1 has a life of 21.3 years and has a monthly depreciation of 69.61
Asset 2 is used for exactly double the time each day of asset 1 and has a life of 10.7 years. I am expecting that when i put the life of asset 2 as 10.7 years (exactly half of asset 1), the monthly depreciation should be exactly double of asset 1 at 139.22.
The system is however calculating depreciation for asset 2 at 183.
I am not able to understand this behaviour. Can someone please help in understanding?
