Calculating asset depreciation on a pro-rata or proration basis can potentially be an issue in the first and final year of expensing. This means a company will need to calculate the breakdown of annual depreciation as well as a pro-rata depreciation and begin applying the schedule for the first month the asset goes into service. This creates assumptions about the date when the property will be placed into service and the date it will be retired.
Companies can adjust their depreciation schedules on a pro-rata basis as necessary, based on the time the asset actually goes into service. There is also some terminology called the half-year convention, mid-quarter convention, and mid-month convention. Internal Revenue Service code may dictate the type of convention a company must use depending on the asset in focus.
