Step 6a - Let's assume the asset value of the element is $2500. Calculate the "would-be"
depreciation of the month by multiplying the asset value by the declining ratio from Step 5 (0.084):
$2500 x 0.084 = $210
Step 6b - Assume the salvage value is $100. Determine if the asset value after depreciation is less
than the salvage value by using the following formula.
Asset value of the month ($2500) - Depreciation for the month ($210) = $2290
Since $2290 (the depreciated asset value) is greater than the salvage value ($100), the asset
value after depreciation is $2290. Go to Step 6c.
Step 6c - The new asset value ($2290) is used to calculate the depreciation for the next month. Let's
go through the calculations for the next month.
Step 6a - Assume the asset value of the element is $2290. Calculate the "would-be" depreciation
of the month by multiplying the asset value by the declining ratio from Step 5 (0.084):
$2290 x .084 = $192.36
Step 6b - Assume the salvage value is $100. Determine if the asset value after depreciation is less
than the salvage value by using the following formula:
Asset value of the month ($2290) - Depreciation for the month ($192.36) =
$2097.64
Since the $2097.64 (the depreciated asset value) is greater than the salvage value ($100), the
asset value for the month is $2097.64. Go to Step 6c. The management server repeats Steps 6a
through 6c for 12 months (the delta from Step 3), unless the depreciated asset value reaches the
salvage value or 0 if the salvage value is not specified.
Viewing Chargeback
This section describes the following:
• ”Viewing Chargeback by Element” on page 628
• ”Viewing Chargeback by Department” on page 629
• ”Viewing Chargeback by Owner” on page 630
Viewing Chargeback by Element
You can view chargeback for an element by clicking the icon next to the element listed on the
Asset tab. If you see empty values, make sure chargeback has been set up, as described in ”Setting
Up Asset-Based Chargeback Manager” on page 616 and ”Setting Up Storage-Based Chargeback
Manager” on page 619.
IMPORTANT: The management server displays chargeback information up to the end of the
previous month. For example, assume you view chargeback information in the middle of February.
The calculations for chargeback would include the month of January, but not February.
