DECISIONS UNDER

CERTAINTY
 DEPRECIATION
◦ Is the reduction or fall in the value of an asset or physical property during the course of
its working life and due to passage of time.
◦ Value- is the money worth of an asset or product. It is also refers to the present worth of
all future profits that are to be received through ownership of a particular property.
◦ Market Value- is the amount of a willing buyer will pay to a willing seller for a property
where each has equal advantage and neither one of them is under the compulsion to
buy or sell.
◦ Book Value- Is the worth of the property as reflected in the book of records of the
company.
◦ Use value- is the amount of the property which the owner believed to be its worth as an
operating unit.
◦ Fair value- is the worth of the property determined by a disinterest person in order to
establish an amount which is fair to both the buyer and seller.
◦ Salvage value- is the amount obtained from the sale of property. Implies that the
property will still be use for the purpose it is intended.
◦ First Cost- is the delivered and installed cost of the asset including purchase price,
installation fees, and any other depreciable cost.
◦ Recovery Period- is the depreciable life in “n” years.
◦ Depreciation rate or Recovery rate- is the fraction of the first cost removed by the
depreciation each year.
◦ Personal Property- is the income producing tangible possessions of a corporation.
Examples; vehicles, manufacturing equipment, construction assets, etc.
◦ Real property- includes real state and all improvements, office building, factories,
warehouses, apartments and other structures.
 SINKING FUND DEPRECIATION
◦ This method assumes that the loss in value is directly proportional to the age of the property.

Declining Balance Depreciation
◦ Also known as diminishing balance depreciation or constant percentage Depreciation.
◦ It is assumed that the annual cost of depreciation is a fixed percentage of the salvage
value at the beginning of the year.
◦ The ratio of the depreciation in any year to the book value at the beginning of that
year is constant throughout the life of the property and is designated by, the rate of
depreciation.
◦ Depreciation rate (k)
𝒌 = 𝟏 − 𝒏 𝑺𝑽/𝑭𝑪

◦ Book value after “t” years of service

BV = 𝑭𝑪(𝟏 − 𝒌)𝒕
◦ Depreciation charge

D = 𝑭𝑪(𝟏 − 𝒌)𝒕−𝟏 𝒌
Double Declining Balance Depreciation – the salvage value should not be subtracted
from the first cost when calculating the depreciation charge.

The Service Output Method
◦ This method assumes that the depreciation that has taken place is directly proportional
to the quantity of output of the property up to that time.
◦ This method has advantage of making the unit cost of depreciation constant and
giving low depreciation expenses during period of low production.

Let T= total units of output up to the end of life

Qn= total number of units of output during the nth year
