  3. WHAT IS DEPRECIATION? Definition:Loss of value for a fixed asset between two periods Example:Market values of a vehicle over 5 years D e p r e c i a t i o n

  4. Depreciation Concept • is a term used in accounting, economics, and finance to spread the cost of an asset over the period of several years. • is the reduction in the value of an asset due to usage, passage of time, and technological outdatingor other factors. Economic Depreciation (Purchase Price – Market Value) Economic losses due to both physical deterioration and technological obsolescence. Accounting Depreciation Systematic allocation (distribution) of the initial cost of an asset in parts over a time or decline in value over time and sometimes referred to more generally as asset depreciation.

  5. Factors to Consider in the process of an Asset Depreciation • What is the cost basis of the asset? • What is asset’s value at the end of its useful life (salvage value)? • What is the depreciable life of the asset? • What method of depreciation do we choose?

  6. What Can Be Depreciated?Depreciable property has the following characteristics • Assets must be used in business or held for production of income. • Assets must have a definite service (useful) life which must be longer than one year. • Assets must wear out, become obsolete or loses value from natural causes. • A qualifying asset for depreciation must satisfy all of the three conditions above.

  7. Example 9.1 on Cost Basis Cost Basis of an asset represents the total cost that is claimed as an expense over an asset's life and generally includes the actual cost of an asset and all accompanying expenses, such as freight, site preparation, and installation.

  8. Useful Life and Salvage Value: • The following questions must be answered when determining an asset's depreciable life. i.e., the number of years over which the asset is to be depreciated. • Q1) How long will an asset be useful to the company? • Q2) What do statutes (law) and accounting rules mandate in determining an asset's depreciable life? • Determining the service life of an asset is often very difficult. • The uncertainty of these estimates often led to disputes between taxpayers and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). • The IRS publishes guidelines on lives for categories of assets known as Asset Depreciation Ranges or ADRs. • These guidelines specify a range of lives for classes of assets, based on historical data allowing taxpayers to choose a depreciable life within the specified range for a given asset.

  9. Types of Depreciation • Book Depreciation [financial report] • Firms report depreciation and net income to investors / stockholders (such as in balance sheet or income statement) • Actual loss of value in asset is generally reflected • Tax Depreciation [Internal Revenue Service] • In calculating income taxes for the IRS • In engineering economics, we use depreciation in the context of tax depreciation • Tax depreciation method allows firms to benefit from the tax advantages of depreciating assets, (will not pay high income tax). • Tax depreciation methods generally permit a higher depreciation in earlier years than do book depreciation methods. • Firms generally pay lower taxes in the initial years of an investment project.

  10. Book Depreciation Methods • Three different methods can be used to calculate the periodic depreciation allowances for financial reporting. Types of Depreciation Methods: • Straight-Line Method • Declining Balance Method • Unit Production Method

  11. Straight – Line (SL) Method • Principle of this method • It considers a fixed asset as an asset that provides its services in a uniform fashion. That is, the asset provides equal amount of service in each year of its useful life. • Formula • Annual Depreciation • Dn= (I – S) / N and constant for all n (years). • Book Value after Depreciation Charge • Bn=I – n (Dn) whereI= cost basis • S = Salvage value • N = depreciable life

  12. Example 9.2 Straight – Line MethodConsider the following data on an automobile, compute the annual depreciation allowances and resulting book values using the straight-line method. I = $10,000 N = 5 Years S = $2,000 D = (I – S)/N Find: Dnand Bn n Dn Bn 0 $10,000 1 1,600 8,400 2 1,600 6,800 3 1,600 5,200 4 1,600 3,600 5 1,600 2,000 n

  13. Declining Balance Method ( D B M ) Principle: A fixed asset as providing its service in a decreasing fashion over time. DBM calculating depreciation allocates a fixed fraction and it is obtained from S L depreciation rate (1/N) as a basis:  = (1/N) x (multiplier). N and multiplier are given. Most commonly used multipliers in the USA are 1.5 DB or 2.0 DB Annual Depreciation Book Value Note: if  is chosen to be the upper bound,  = 2(1/N), we call it a 200% DB or double declining balance (DDB) method. where 0 <  < 2(1/N)

  14. Example 9.3 Declining Balance (DB) Depreciation Asset: Invoice Price ………………...... $9,000 Freight …………………….... 500 Installation …………………...... 500 Depreciation Base …………………........ $10,000 Salvage Value ......................................... 2,000 Depreciation 200% DDB (Double) multiplier=2 Depreciable life 5 years SL Dep. Rate = 1/5=0.2 a (DDB rate) = (200%) (SL rate) = 0.40

  15. S = $2,000 Note: Tax law does not permit to depreciate assets below their salvage values.

  16. Example 9.4 Declining Balance (DB) Depreciation Asset: Invoice Price ………………...... $9,000 Freight ………………………... 500 Installation …………………...... 500 Depreciation Base …………………........ .$10,000 Salvage Value .............................................. 0 Depreciation 200% DDB Depreciable life 5 years SL Dep. Rate = 1/5 a (DDB rate) = (200%) (SL rate) = 0.40

  17. Example 9.4 Declining Balance (DB) with conversion to Straight Line Depreciation (Bn > S) Suppose the asset given in example 9.3 has a zero salvage value instead of $2,000 (a) Without switching (b) With switching to SL Note:Without switching, we have not depreciated the entire cost of the asset and thus have not taken full advantage of depreciation’s benefits. The rule is; if DB depreciation in any year is less than (or equal to) the depreciation amount calculated by SL, switch to and remain with the SL method for the duration of the asset’s depreciable life. The Switch can be in any of the n years.

  18. Declining Balance (DB) with conversion to Straight Line Depreciation (Bn > S) Straight line depreciation in year n: Consider I=15000, S=1000, N=7, using DDB with conversion to straight line method

  19. x ( I – S ) Units – of – Production MethodNo. of units or operating hours are different from year to year • Principle • The number of service units consumed in that period. • Formula • Annual Depreciation • Service units consumed for year • Dn = • total service units

  20. Example 9.5 Units – of – Production Depreciation • A truck for hauling coal has an estimated net cost of $55,000 and is expected to give service for 250,000 miles, resulting in $5,000 a salvage value. Compute the allowed depreciation amount for the truck usage of 30,000 miles Find: Depreciation amount this year Solution:

  21. History of Tax Depreciation Methods • Purpose:compute income taxes for the IRS • Assets placed in service prior to 1981 • Use book depreciation methods (SL, DB) • Assets placed in service from 1981 to 1986 • Use ACRS (Accelerated Cost Recovery System) Table • Assets placed in service after 1986 • Use MACRS (Modified ACRS) Table

  22. Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery Systems (MACRS) Personal Property: (movable property, includes assets such as machinery, vehicles, equipment, furniture, and similar items) • Depreciation method based on DB method switching to SL • Half-year convention (assumes all assets are placed in service at midyear) • Half year is allowed for the first year. • Half year is taken in the year following the end • Zero salvage value Real Property: (includes houses and land) are classified into two categories: • residential rental property and • commercial building or properties • SL Method; Mid-month convention; Zero salvage value

  23. MACRS Property Classifications (ADR = Asset Depreciation Range)

  24. M A C R S Depreciation TABLE for Personal Property with Half-Year Conversion from Internal Revenue Service (IRS)

  25. Example MACRS Depreciation Asset cost = $10,000 Property class = 5 year MACRS Depreciation method = Half – year convention, zero salvage value, 200% DB switching to SL 20% $2000 32% $3200 Full 19.20% $1920 Full 11.52% $1152 Full 11.52% $1152 Full 5.76% $576 1 2 3 4 5 6 Half-year Convention

  26. How to Determine “Accounting Profit” Item Gross Income Expenses Cost of goods sold Depreciation Interest expenses Operating expenses Taxable income Income taxes Net income (Accounting Profit)

  27. Example Net Income within a year A company buys a numerically control (NC) machines for $28,000 (year Zero) and uses it for five years, after which time it is scrapped. The allowed depreciation deduction during the first year is $4,000, as the equipment falls into the seven year MACRS property category. (The first year depreciation rate is 14.29%) The cost of goods produced by this NC machine should include a charge for the depreciation of the machine. Suppose the company estimates the following revenues and expenses, including the depreciation for the first operating year. Gross income = $50,000 Cost of goods sold = $20,000 Depreciation on NC machine = $4,000 Operating expenses = $6,000 If the company pays taxes at the rate of 40% on its taxable income, what is the net income from the project during the first year?

  28. Example of Net Income within a year

  29. Capital Expenditure versus Depreciation Expenses ( 7 - year MACRS property ) 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 0 Capital expenditure (actual cash flow) $28,000 0 1(14.29) 2 (24.49) 3 (17.49) 4 (12.49) 5 (8.93) 6 (8.92) 7(8.93) 8 (4.46) $1,250 $2,500 $2,500 $3,500 $2,500 $4,000 $4,900 $6,850 Allowed depreciation expenses (not cash flow)

  32. U.S. Corporate Tax Schedule Marginal tax rate is defined as the rate applied to the last dollar of income. Taxable income 0-$50,000 $50,001-$75,000 $75,001-$100,000 $100,001-$335,000 $335,001-$10,000,000 $10,000,001-$15,000,000 $15,000,001-$18,333,333 $18,333,334 and Up Tax rate 15% 25% 34% 39% 34% 35% 38% 35% Tax computation $0 + 0.15(D) $7,500 + 0.25 (D) $13,750 + 0.34 (D) $22,250 + 0.39 (D) $113,900 + 0.34 (D) $3,400,000 + 0.35 (D) $5,150,000 + 0.38 (D) $6,416,666 + 0.35 (D) (D) denotes the taxable income in excess of the lower bound of each tax bracket

  33. Marginal and Effective (Average) Tax Rate for a Taxable Income of $16,000,000

  34. Example Corporate Income Taxes Facts: Capital expenditure $290,000 (allowed depreciation) $58,000 Gross Sales revenue $1,250,000 Expenses: Cost of goods sold $840,000 Depreciation $58,000 Leasing warehouse $20,000 Question: Taxable income?

  35. Taxable income: Gross income $1,250,000 - Expenses: (cost of goods sold) $840,000 (depreciation) $58,000 (leasing expense) $20,000 Taxable income$332,000 Income taxes:

  36. Average tax rate: Total taxes = $112,730 Taxable income = $332,000 Marginal tax rate: Tax rate that is applied to the last dollar earned 39%

  37. Gain Taxes on Asset Disposals • When a depreciable asset used in business is sold for an amount that differs from its book value, the gains or losses have an important effect on income taxes. • To calculate a gain or loss, we first need to determine the book value of the depreciable asset at the time of disposal. • For a MACRS property, the year of disposal is charged one-half of that year's annual depreciation amount, should the disposal occur during the recovery period. • For example, let's consider a five-year MACRS property with a cost basis of $100,000. 1 2 3 4 5 6

  38. Disposal of a MACRS Property and Its Effect on Depreciation Allowances

  39. Taxable Gains (or Losses) are defined as the differences between the salvage value and the book value. Case 1:Salvage value < Cost basis: gains (losses) = salvage value – book value Case 2:Salvage value > Cost basis: ordinary gains (depreciation recapture) gains = salvage value – book value = (salvage value – cost basis) + (cost basis – book value) capital gains ordinary gains

  40. Capital Gains and Ordinary Gains Capital gains Total gains Ordinary gains or depreciation recapture Cost basis Book value Salvage value

  41. Example 9.9 Gains or Losses on Depreciable Asset A Drill press: $230,000 Project year: 3 years MACRS: 7-year property class Salvage value: $150,000 at the end of Year 3 Total Dep. = 230,000(0.1429 + 0.2449 + 0.1749/2) =$109,308 Book Value = 230,000 -109,308 =$120,692 Ordinary Gains = Salvage Value - Book Value = $150,000 - $120,692 =$29,308 Gains Tax (34%) = 0.34 ($29,308) =$9,965 Net Proceeds from sale = $150,000 - $9,965 =$140,035
