What is the relationship between depreciating an asset, and the terminal value of the asset?
Let us understand this with an example
Assume an Asset the cost of which is $ 220,000. Life of this asset is 5 years and the terminal value is $ 20,000
Year | Opening | Depreciation | Accumulated Depreciation | Closing |
1 | $ 220,000 | $ 40,000 | $ 40,000 | $ 180,000 |
2 | $ 180,000 | $ 40,000 | $ 80,000 | $ 140,000 |
3 | $ 140,000 | $ 40,000 | $ 120,000 | $ 100,000 |
4 | $ 100,000 | $ 40,000 | $ 160,000 | $ 60,000 |
5 | $ 60,000 | $ 40,000 | $ 200,000 | $ 20,000 |
Now let us change the terminal value to $ 10,000 instead
Year | Opening | Depreciation | Accumulated Depreciation | Closing |
1 | $ 220,000 | $ 42,000 | $ 42,000 | $ 178,000 |
2 | $ 178,000 | $ 42,000 | $ 84,000 | $ 136,000 |
3 | $ 136,000 | $ 42,000 | $ 126,000 | $ 94,000 |
4 | $ 94,000 | $ 42,000 | $ 168,000 | $ 52,000 |
5 | $ 52,000 | $ 42,000 | $ 210,000 | $ 10,000 |
Now let us change it to $ 40,000
Year | Opening | Depreciation | Accumulated Depreciation | Closing |
1 | $ 220,000 | $ 36,000 | $ 36,000 | $ 184,000 |
2 | $ 184,000 | $ 36,000 | $ 72,000 | $ 148,000 |
3 | $ 148,000 | $ 36,000 | $ 108,000 | $ 112,000 |
4 | $ 112,000 | $ 36,000 | $ 144,000 | $ 76,000 |
5 | $ 76,000 | $ 36,000 | $ 180,000 | $ 40,000 |
Increase in terminal value leads to decrease in depreciation per year. On the contrary, a decrease in terminal value leads to increase in per year depreciation
Here is the formula
Depreciation per annum = (Cost - Terminal Value) / Useful Life

What is the purpose of depreciating an asset?
2. A company using straight-line depreciation purchases an asset for $6,000 and is depreciating this asset to zero over its three year tax life.
