60 Depreciation Worksheet
• The calculator computes values for DEP, RBV, and RDV automatically
when you press # to display each variable.
Entering Values for DB and DBX
If you choose either the declining balance (
DB) or declining balance with
crossover to SL (DBX) depreciation method, remember to enter a value
representing the percent of declining balance for the DB or DBX variable.
Note: The declining balance you enter must be a positive number.
Entering Values for LIF
• If
SL or SLF is selected, the LIF value must be a positive real number.
• If SYD, DB, DBX, or DBF is selected, the LIF value must be a positive
integer.
Entering Values for M01
The value you enter for the starting month (
M01) has two parts:
• The integer portion represents the month in which the asset is placed into
service.
• The decimal portion represents the fraction of the initial month in which the
asset begins to depreciate.
For example, to specify that the asset will begin to depreciate in the middle of
the first month, enter 1.5. To specify that the asset will begin to depreciate a
quarter of the way through the fourth month, enter 4.25.
Working with YR
• When computing depreciation, the value you enter for the year-to-compute
(
YR) variable must be a positive integer.
• If the remaining depreciable value (RDV) variable is displayed, you can
press # to return to the year to compute (YR) variable. To represent the
next depreciation year, press C to increment the value for YR by one.
• To compute a depreciation schedule, repeatedly return to the year to
compute (YR) variable, press C to increment the value for YR, and
compute values for DEP, RBV, and RDV. The schedule is complete when
RDV equals zero.
