Examples of Transfer to Derogatory Depreciation

This document presents examples illustrating these three scenarios for using a derogatory depreciation of fixed assets:

  • Transfer from declining balance depreciation
  • Transfer from linear depreciation
  • Change of lifetime for existing derogatory depreciation.

You can refer to these examples to verify that the depreciation proposal created in 'Fixed Asset. Transfer to Derogatory' (FAS700) is correct.

Transfer from Declining Balance Depreciation

Current Situation

  • The fixed asset has one depreciation type for declining balance depreciation with ID 20.
  • Acquisition cost: 1,200,000
  • Depreciation share: 31.25%
  • Lifetime: 96 periods
  • Auto-change depreciation method: 2
  • New lifetime to be applied at the end of the third year: 60 periods (5 years)

Depreciation Plan (Declining Balance, 96 Periods)

As seen in the table, the total depreciated amount at the end of the third year, when the transfer to derogatory depreciation will be made, is 810,058.59.

Preparation for Transfer

  • First, create a linear depreciation type (ID 11) to use as the associated depreciation type.
  • Next, create the derogatory depreciation type (ID 91), in this case one for declining balance depreciation and with the same setup as ID 20, and connect it to the depreciation type with ID 11.

Transfer

Perform the transfer in 'Fixed Asset. Transfer to Derogatory' (FAS700).

Results

Depreciation Plan for Associated Depreciation Type, ID 11 (Linear Depreciation, 60 Periods)

As seen in the table below, the total depreciated amount is 720,000.00 after the transfer.

  • Acquisition cost: 1,200,000
  • Current lifetime: 96 periods (8 years)
  • New lifetime to be applied at the end of the third year: 60 periods (5 years).

Preparation for Transfer

  • First, create a linear depreciation type (ID 11) to use as the associated depreciation type. You can either enter the new lifetime for the asset for this depreciation type or when performing the transfer in (FAS700).
  • Next, create a derogatory depreciation type (ID 91), in this case a linear with the same setup as ID 10, and connect it to the depreciation type with ID 11.

Transfer

Perform the transfer in 'Fixed Asset. Transfer to Derogatory' (FAS700).

  • Acquisition cost: 1,200,000
  • Depreciation share for ID 90: 31.25%
  • Lifetime for both depreciation types: 96 periods
  • Auto-change depreciation method for ID 90: 2

The table displays the new derogatory depreciation with a total depreciated amount of 90,058.59 at the end of the third year.

The values in this depreciation plan are based on the following formula: the total depreciated amount calculated according to the declining balance method at the end of the third year (that is, 810,058.59) minus the total depreciated amount calculated for the associated depreciation type ID 11 (720,000).
