Depreciation, Amortization and Depletion
This course addresses the three important fixed production cost elements resulting from acquiring various assets including tangible assets (cost expressed as depreciation), non-tangible assets (cost expressed amortization) and non-renewable resources/ assets (cost expressed as depletion).To this extent , the course provides full explanations regarding asset acquisition costs, service life, economic life, depreciate amount, salvage/scrap value, book value, depreciation accruals, accumulated depreciation and other related concepts.
To provide in-depth understanding, depreciation is considered in terms of its various contexts including decline in value, deterioration of assets, obsolescence, asset replacement and others. Taxation, depreciation and tax holiday are also considered showing various depreciation mathematical calculation models reflecting accelerated, decelerated and uniform depreciation. Detailed comparative calculations applying various models and procedures for different countries applying different depreciation/taxation rules for several assets are also presented.
After completing this course, you will be able to:
Appreciate the various contexts of depreciation and able to calculate the appropriate accruals
Utilize the most appropriate mathematical model for calculating depreciation in compliance to the taxation rules and regulations in their countries
Apply the right depreciation calculation when preparing project feasibility study and appraisal
Differentiate clearly between appreciation and (depreciation, amortization and depletion)
Ensure that depreciation calculations are compliant with IFRS (International Financial Reporting Standards - previously IAS) and satisfy the requirements to prepare end-of-year financial account.
