Can some one help me on how to wake out depreciation charge for the year below using the rate of 121/2% on a reducing balance basis.
The cost of plant is $181,000 and with accumulated depreciation of $85,000
October 29, 2010 at 6:08 am #69913Hi, yes, it’s 12.5% x (181,000 – 85,000 )
That’s 12.5% x 96,000 = 12,000

November 3, 2010 at 10:35 pm #69917Hi Tutor I figured where the confusion was coming from I agree its 12.5 but I this there was a typo in the book because it read 121/2% when it should have been 12 1/2% for one to see the half unlike seeing the 121
November 4, 2010 at 12:02 pm #69918Hi, sorry, I should have remembered that there was a typo in the BPP material.
