Figure 28 - Accounting time lines Steps 1. Draw a Ome line for the financial year. 2. Draw the time line for the actual reporting period. 3. Write the number of months below the second time line. 4. If dealing with depreciation the number of months over 12 is what you need to calculate depredation for. 5. For accrued or prepaid Items draw a further time line representing the time accrued or prepaid. For example, if the actual reporting period is 3 months and an expense item has been paid for 4 months draw that line under the 3 month line.

Depreciation Case Study Calculations: Straight line = $15 000 - $3000 = $12 000/6 years = $2000 X 9/12 = $1500 In this first calculation the asset has only been in the possession of the business for 9 months and this has to be factored into the calculation. =$15 000 - $3000 = $12 000/6 years = $2000 Diminishing balance = $15 000 X.25 X 9/12 = $2813 = $15 000 - $2813 = $12 187 X.25 = $3047 Note: It is unlikely that you will have irregular figures as per the diminishing balance calculations above. You may be asked why the amount of depreciation for diminishing balance is greater in the second year than in the first. The answer is that in the first year the business only had the asset for 9 months of that time. You will note that the straight line method takes into account residual value whilst the diminishing balance method ignores that amount for purposes of calculation. Straight line General journal 30.6.200 2 Depreciation of Pizza Oven 1 500 Accumulated depreciation of Pizza Oven 1 500 Pizza Oven depreciated at straight line for 6 years. Profit and Loss account 1 500 Depreciation of Pizza Oven 1 500 Depreciation posted to Profit and Loss account. It is important to include the name of the asset in the title - should a student simply use the term depreciation, there would be a one mark deduction.

In 2002 it is $1313 greater and in the year 2 003, $1047 more. This reduces profit by those amounts in the first two years.

CC represents that portion of the total cost of a non-current asset not yet allocated as a cost. It also includes the residual value.
