Go to: www.accountingw... to download the problems.
Module 8 examines the depreciation of capital assets. We learn to compute straight-line, units of production, and double declining balance depreciation. We also learn to sell assets at a gain or loss.

Professor, What if we are not given the salvage value then do we consider it zero?

Professor, what if we add a betterment to the asset? How do we recalculate? I saw an example but it made no sense.

Hi Lena - sorry - I don't teach Intermediate Accounting, so I'm not too sure about that topic!

So if time is not relevant for the units of production method, then aren't we technically calculating depreciation using this method for 6 years instead of 5? Since it doesn't matter whether it's a partial year or a full year?

[@Tony-Bell]

Not really - you need to take the time element out of your mind completely. The only thing that matters is the Units - so if it takes 20 years to get to the units, so be it. If it takes 4 years to get there, so be it. The time is not even considered.
