Please can you provide some guidance on the deprciation calcuation?
In this session, we discuss property acquisitions and dispositions. In financial accounting, the acquisition of assets means that specific procedures will be followed, including computing the depreciable cost of the asset and estimating its useful life. These steps are required to compute the depreciation for the acquired asset. The accounting treatment options vary including the use of Straight Line, Units of Production, or an accelerated method such as Declining Balance or Sum of the Years’ digits. (Heintz & Parry, 2017) If the asset is later sold before being fully depreciated, there may be an accounting gain or loss on disposal, depending on the circumstances. If assets are disposed of under the tax code, such disposal might trigger depreciation recapture. The deductions allowed under section 1231 allow for tax savings while reducing the taxpayer basis in the asset. Such a reduction in basis might be connected to a realized gain on the disposal of such an asset and allow the…
Different methods are applied based on the type of asset and usage, or based on the different assumptions that are made, state any six (6) depreciation methods applicable in depreciating non-current assets.
what is the definition of this method of depreciation: Sum of years digits?
The methods for depreciating assets are 1) straight-line depreciation; 2) declining balance depreciation (specifically double declining balance); and 3) units-of-production or units-of-activity or activity based depreciation. Is it possible that I can recieve help with descibing each method and comparing the different depreciation methods and its effect on net operating income?

In conducting a replacement study of assets with different lives, can the annual worth values over the asset’s own life cycle be used in the comparison, if the study period is (a) unlimited, (b) limited, and the study period is not an even multiple of asset lives, and (c) limited wherein the period is a multiple of asset lives? Explain your answers for each part.
Which of the following statements about depreciation is not true? A. Depreciation does not mirror the actual loss of value over time. B. Depreciation is the allocation of the asset’s cost to expense over the expected years of use. C. If the fair value of the asset increases, depreciation is reversed to reflect the change in value. D. U.S. GAAP requires depreciation methods to be systematic and rational.
What are some of the simplifying conventions a company can use to calculate depreciation for partial years?
Consider the data in the following two tables: Identify the depreciation method used for each depreciation schedule as one of the following:(a) Double-declining-balance depreciation(b) Straight-line depreciation(c) DOB with conversion to straight-line depreciation, assuming a zero salvage value(d) MACRS seven-year depreciation with the half-year convention(e) Double-declining-balance (with conversion to straight-line depreciation)
Which depreciation method would result in the same depreciation expense amount regardless of the partial period cor Select one: a. Sum-of-the-years'-digits b. Declining-balance c. Units-of-production d. Straight-line
Which of the following is true? O The book value at the end of an asset's useful life will be the same under all the depreciation methods allowed under generally accepted accounting principles. The annual depreciation expense will usually differ under the various depreciation methods. The total depreciation in the accumulated depreciation account will be the same at the end of the asset's useful life under all the methods allowed under generally accepted accounting principles. O All are true.
