Worked example 1
Machine purchased for $60 000. Residual value $6 000. Useful life 6 years.
Calculate annual depreciation and NBV after 3 years.
Show solution outline
Annual depreciation = (60 000 − 6 000) ÷ 6 = $9 000 per year
Accumulated depreciation after 3 years = 3 × 9 000 = **
NBV = 60 000 − 27 000 = **
