PROBLEM: The cost of an old ammo reloading press is ₱3000, its life is 6 years and scrap value is ₱500. Find the annual rate of depreciation under a declining balance method (also known as constant percentage method) and construct a depreciation table. Given: (^) B = ₱ 3000 , (^) S = ₱ 500 , (^) n = 6 years Solution: Declining balance method: k = 1 − n '
'
→ k =0. Depreciation @nth year: Dn = B^ (^ k^ ) Book Value: BV^ = B − Dn In year 1: In year 2: D 1 = 3000 ( 0.25816 ) → 774.48 D 2 =2225.52 ( 0.25816) → 574. BV (^) 1 = 3000 −774.48 → 2225.52 BV (^) 2 =2225.52−574.54 → 1650. In year 3: In year 4: D 3 =1650.98 ( 0.25816 ) → 426.22 D 4 =1224.76 ( 0.25816) → 316.
