The depreciation calculation after partial sale/scrap for the straight line percentage (PL) method should not consider the part of scrapped accumulated depreciation. For example,
Before you apply this update
01.01.2012 FA Acquisition cost 600,000;
Depreciation method – Straight line percentage (PL) with norm 20%
31.01.2012 Depreciation – 10,000 (600,000*20%/12)
01.02.2012 Partial scrap 50% in amount of 295,000 (600,000 – 10 000)/2
Actually, 295,000 consists of the following:
Scrap of acquisition cost = 600,000*50% = 300,000
Scrap of accumulated depreciation = -10,000*50% = -5,000
28.02.2012 Depreciation amount
Straight line percentage (PL):
(600,000 – 295,000)*20%/12 = 5 083.33 (This is incorrect.)
After you apply this update
Correct depreciation amount
Straight line percentage (PL):
(600,000 – 300,000)*20%/12 = 5,000
