Company purchases a machine at the beginning of the year at a cost
of $60,000, . The machine is depreciated using the straight line
methodThe machine's useful is estimated to be 4 years with a $5,000
salvage valueThe book value of the machine at the end of year
4
Depreciation as per Straight line Depreciation method is: Purchase price- salvage value / Life of the machine
Accordingly Depreciation is:$60000-$5000/4=$13750 per year.
Year | Opening Book Value | Depreciation | Closing Book Value |
1 | 60000 | 13750 | 46250 |
2 | 46250 | 13750 | 32500 |
3 | 32500 | 13750 | 18750 |
4 | 18750 | 13750 | 5000 |
As Calculated in the Table the Book Value of the machine at the end of the 4 year is equal to SALVAGE VALUE which is 5000. Further In straight Line Depreciation Method the asset is DEPRECIATED EQUALLY in the Life of the year after Deducting Salvage Value, So methamitacally also Salvage Value will be the Closing Book Value of at the end of 4 year.
