EGR 403 - The Big Picture• Framework: Accounting & Breakeven Analysis• “Time-value of money” concepts - Ch. 3, 4• Analysis methods
– Ch. 5 - Present Worth– Ch. 6 - Annual Worth– Ch. 7,7A,8 - Rate of Return (incremental analysis)– Ch. 9 - Benefit Cost Ratio & other methods
• Refining the analysis– Ch. 10, 11 - Depreciation & Taxes– Ch. 12 - Replacement Analysis
EGR 403 - Cal Poly Pomona - SA13 3
Basic Aspects of Depreciation• An important component in computing income
taxes.• For tax purposes:
Depreciation is the systematic allocation of the cost of an asset spread over its depreciable life.
EGR 403 - Cal Poly Pomona - SA13 4
DepreciationDefinition - A decrease in value.
• In an economic context– Market value– Value to the owner
• In an accounting context a systematic allocation of the cost of an asset over its depreciable life. Depreciable life is related to– Deterioration– Obsolescence
EGR 403 - Cal Poly Pomona - SA13 5
Depreciation and Expenses• Expenses - subtracted from business revenues as
they occur (time frame < one year).– Labor – Utilities– Materials– Insurance, etc.
• Depreciation - subtracted from business expenses over time as the asset is used up (applies to assets with > 1 year useful life).– Machinery– Installation costs
EGR 403 - Cal Poly Pomona - SA13 6
Depreciation for Tax Purposes• Depreciable life - the period over which an asset is
depreciated (recovery period).• Depreciation is a non-cash cost - money does not
change hands during the recovery period. (Note: The asset is already paid for or money has been borrowed and principal & interest payments are being made.)
• Depreciation is used to allocate an asset’s loss of value over time.
• Depreciation is deducted from revenue and reduces the taxable income of a business over time which produces a cash flow on an after tax-basis.
EGR 403 - Cal Poly Pomona - SA13 7
A Property is Depreciable If
• The property is used for business purposes in the production of income.
• The property has a useful life that can be determined, and the useful life is longer than one year.
• The property decays, gets used up, wears out, becomes obsolete or loses value from natural causes.
EGR 403 - Cal Poly Pomona - SA13 8
Classification of Property• Tangible - can be seen, touched, and felt.
– Real - land, buildings, and things growing on, or attached to the land.
– Personal - equipment, furnishings, vehicles, office machinery, or not defined as real property.
• Intangible - has value but cannot be seen or touched, examples include patents, copyrights, and trade marks. In general buildings and equipment are
depreciable; land is not.
EGR 403 - Cal Poly Pomona - SA13 9
Depreciation Methods• Historical methods
– Straight line
– Sum-of-years digits
– Declining balance
– Declining balance switching to straight line
• Modified accelerated cost recovery system (MACRS)
Over the years the US Government has used each of these systems in turn to determine allowable depreciation for tax purposes . MACRS is now the system used for most depreciable property.
EGR 403 - Cal Poly Pomona - SA13 10
Example
• Consider the following example:– Cost basis of an asset (B) = $900– Useful life in years (N) = 5– Salvage value (S) = $70
• Notes:– Cost basis includes installation and other “one-
time” costs associated with making the asset ready for use
– Salvage value (if used) is estimated or based on accounting practices and procedures

Accelerated Depreciation
• The rest of the methods discussed are called “Accelerated Depreciation” methods.
• These methods deduct larger depreciation expenses in the early years and less at the end.
• The large early deductions result in tax savings that are realized sooner.
• A basic principle of the time value of money:
“Money now is better than money later”

EGR 403 - Cal Poly Pomona - SA13 20
DDB With Conversion to SLat the Most Desirable Time
• Since DDB does not use a value for Salvage, we have three possible scenarios at time of disposal:– Over depreciation: Book Value < Salvage Value. Tax
savings realized early. Small gain upon sale of the asset and taxes on the gain.
– Exact depreciation: Book value = Salvage value. There are no tax consequences upon sale of the asset.
– Under depreciation: Book Value > Salvage Value. Did not deduct as much as you could have and lost tax savings.
• To allow companies the advantage of all the depreciation charges they are entitled to, they can switch from DDB to straight line at the most favorable time.
EGR 403 - Cal Poly Pomona - SA13 21
DDB Is the Preferred Approach
• Using the DDB approach provides the greatest PW (tax savings).
• The DDB approach does not fully depreciate an item unless a switch to straight line is accomplished in the latter years.
• The question is which is the most advantageous year to switch to SL.
EGR 403 - Cal Poly Pomona - SA13 22
MACRS Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System
• MACRS is the system presently used by the US government.
• General Method (IRS FORM 4562):– Determine item cost.– Determine item property class.– Use table to find percent depreciation.– Multiple percentage by cost.
•The US tax code requires that many special issues be considered that go beyond the general view presented here.
EGR 403 - Cal Poly Pomona - SA13 23
MACRS• Removed controversial issues between tax
accountants and IRS. Fixed many practices and procedures but mostly favorable.
• DDB with conversion to SL in the favorable year.
• Assumes asset acquired in the middle of the first year, regardless of when actually acquired.
• See example 10-8 for a comparison

Gains & Losses upon sale of an asset
• Three cases of interest affect taxes at the end of the life of the asset. These consequences affect the after tax cash flow
• Example in next chapter
EGR 403 - Cal Poly Pomona - SA13 28
Item is sold for more than Book Value - Ordinary Gain
EGR 403 - Cal Poly Pomona - SA13 29
Item is sold for below Book Value - Ordinary Loss
EGR 403 - Cal Poly Pomona - SA13 30
Item sold for more that what was paid for it - Ordinary & Capital Gain
