An asset is purchased for P 724426. The salvage value in 11 years is P 35797. Determine the depreciation during the third year using sinking fund method at 5%
Solution : FC = First cost of an asset
SV = Salvage value of an aaset
n = Number of years
i = rate of interest
a. Solve for the annual depreciation:
Annual Depreciation (A)= [(FC - SV) ( interest rate )] / [ 1+ interest ^ (n) -1]
A= [ ( 724426 - 35797)× (0.05) ] / [ (1 + 0.05) ^ 11 - 1]
A= [ (688629)×(0.05)] / [1.05 ^ (11) - 1]
A = [ 34431.45] / [1.710339358 - 1]
A = [ 34431.45] / [0.710339358]
A = P 48471.83196
b.Solve for the depreciation in 3rd year :
Total depreciation after x years = A [ (1 + interest) ^ (x) - 1] / interest
Total depreciation = 48471.83196 [ ( 1 + 0.05)^ (3) - 1 ] / 0.05
Total depreciation = 48471.83196 [ (1.05)^(3) - 1] / 0.05
= 48471.83196 [ 1.157625 - 1 ] / 0.05
= 48471.83196 [0.157625] / 0.05
= 7640.372512 / 0.05
= P 152807.4502
