    Just a small qs which popped up while revising for my CFA

    In the 2nd yr under the DDB method how do we calculate the dep exp?
    And in the consolidation of a P and S,how much % of net income of sub is consolidated?

    Thanks in advance

    Remind me – what’s the DDP method?

    Meanwhile, you consolidate 100% of the subsidiary’s results SINCE ACQUISITION in the year of acquisition (so time apportion, but 100% of post acquisition figures)

    If it’s not the first year, then 100% of the subsidiary’s profit or loss account

    You need to check the F3 videos where John clearly illustrates the workings for the reducing balance method of depreciation

    This DDP method is merely an alternative title for reducing balance method

    1,000 asset depreciated at 40% reducing balance

    1st year 40% x 1,000 = 400

    Carrying value 600

    2nd year 40% x 600 = 240

    Carrying value 360

    3rd year 40% x 360 = 144

    Carrying value 216

    And so on

    In my example above, the standard rate for that type of asset would be 20% per annum

    Multiply that rate by 2 = 40%

    Apply that to the brought forward value

    What’s the problem?

    If you want me to calculate (another) second year depreciation expense using the double declining balance method, give me:

    Cost and
    Annual depreciation rate

    and I’ll work one for you
