Definition

Enter the depreciated amount accumulated up to the time of transfer for the retiring company in group currency.

The system assumes that the transfer starts at the beginning of the period, which means that the transfer period itself is not included for calculating the depreciation.

Example:

asset APC (retiring co.) = $ 6000 (group currency)
depr. begin (retiring co.) = 3/1995
date of transfer = 8/1995

Result: The accumulated depreciation for periods 3/95 through 7/95für
must be entered. The amount of depreciation equates to a
total of 5 months.

Calculation of accumulated depreciation:

a) The transferred asset is depreciated using the straight-line method
over 10 years.
Calculation as follows:

$ 6000 / 10 = $ 600 (annual depreciation)
600 / 12 = 50 (monthly depreciation)


==> $ 50 * 5 = $ 250 (accumulated depreciation for 5 months)
======

b) The transferred asset is depreciated using the declining-balance
method at 20% over 10 years.
Calculation as follows:

$ 6000 * 20% = $ 1200 (annual depreciation)
1200 / 12 = 100 (monthly depreciation)


==> $ 100 * 5 = $ 500 (accumulated depreciation for 5 months)
======
