Starting Values:

Acquisition value:           10000

Useful life:               5 years

Annual depreciation:      10000 / 5 = 2000

 

Effective on July 1 of year 01 of the useful life, you change the useful life to 4 years. The system recalculates depreciation:

Acquisition value:           10000

Useful life                4 years

Annual depreciation:             10000 / 4 = 2500

 

The system calculates the depreciation amount for the year 01 as follows:

Periods 1 to 6:               2000 x (6/12) = 1000

Periods 7 to 12:             2500 x (6/12) = 1250

From these totals, the system calculates annual depreciation of 2250.
