Hello community,

 

I am trying to calculate depreciation for Japan. There is a specific requirement when declining balance method is used for depreciation.

 

If depreciation cost for calculated year is less than minimum depreciation amount then depreciation method  type switches to net book value multiplied by minimum depreciation rate. Net book value after switch is depreciated in remaining calendar years.

 

 

 

According to above table, here is my fixed asset that i want to calculate.

Acquisition value 239.590  
Salvage Value 1  
Service date April 1st, 2022  
1st Year service month 9 months  
Useful Life 8 years  
Depreciation Rate 0,25 rate for 8 years from table above
Minimum Dep.amount 18.949 Acquisition value x Rate to Determine min. depr. Amount
Depreciation Rate after minimum amount 0,334 New rate per year if acc. Depreciation from declining balance is lower than Minimum Depr. Amount

 

Based on the information above, my depreciation for each year should look like this

 

Year Depr. Year Depreciation Net Book Value  
2022 1st Year 44.923 194.667 Declining Balance 9 month depreciation
2023 2nd Year 48.666 146.001 Declining Balance
2024 3rd Year 36.500 109.501 Declining Balance
2025 4th Year 27.375 82.126 Declining Balance
2026 5th Year 20.531 61.595 Declining Balance
After this point declining balance depreciation amount is lower than minimum depreciation amount in the table, depreciation type switches to static rate for remaining calendar years.
2027 6th Year 20.572 41.023 Net book value from 2026 multiplied by 0,334
2028 7th Year 20.572 20.451 Net book value from 2026 multiplied by 0,334
2029 8th Year 20.450 1 Remaining net book value - Salvage value

 

Anyone has idea how to get this result in IFS standard v. 10 update 14.

 

Thank you very much
