Sample Problems on
Declining Balance Method
An equipment costing P250,000 has an
estimated life of 15 years with a book
value of P30, 000 at the end of the
period. Compute the depreciation
charge and its book value after 10 years
using the declining balance method.
Double Declining
Balance Method
This is the same as declining balance method except that k is
replaced by 2/n.

Sum-of-Years’ Digit Method
This
method uses the year’s digit (in reverse order) in
computing for the depreciation.

Sinking Fund Method
Sinking fund method presents the idea of annuity in computing
for the depreciation. The interest rate for the worth of money is
being considered so as to have the depreciable value.

Hour Output Method
In this method, the functionality period and the period the
machine has been used is considered. Depreciation is computed
based on the wear and tear of the machine.

Where:
Q = total amount that the asset can give service
Qa = amount of the asset has been used
Sample Problems on
Service and Hour Output Method
1. An electric bulb bought for Php100 is guaranteed to be useful
for 50 hours. A certain company uses the said bulb for 10
hours a day. If there is no scrap value for the bulb. Compute
the daily depreciation and create the depreciation table
throughout its economic life.
2. A tire bought for Php1,000 is expected to be useful in
traveling 100 km after which it can be sold as scrap for Php50.
(a) If the pedometer displays a value of 85 km, what is the book
value of the tire?
(b) How much did the owner need to travel for the tire to
amount to Php80?
