To determine

Disposal of Assets: Disposal is an activity of selling the worn-out assets that is no longer in need for the business, in return of some consideration. Disposal may be made in any of the following situations:

  • Disposal with no gain no loss: When the asset is disposed with no consideration received.
  • Disposal with gain: When the asset is disposed for more than its book value (original cost less accumulated depreciation).
  • Disposal with loss: When the asset is disposed for less than its book value.

Double-declining-balance method: It is an accelerated method of depreciation under which the depreciation declines in each successive year until the value of asset becomes zero. Under this method, the book value (original cost less accumulated depreciation) of the long-term asset is decreased by a fixed rate. It is double the rate of the straight-line depreciation. Use the following formula to determine the annual depreciation:

Depreciation = Purchase price × (2Useful life)
