Actually, unless you want to see depreciation at 5 year life for 6 months
and at 4 year life for the remaining life, you should not be using time
interval change. Just change the life in the existing interval and the
system will do a catch up. In your example, first year depreciation will
be:
Using a new time interval.
based on nbv -
jan to jun - 1000
jul-dec - (9000/3.5*.5) = 1286 Total for 2011 = 2286.
based on apc
jan to jun - 1000
jul-dec - (10000/4*.5) = 1250 Total for 2011 = 2250, with a 250 write
off after end of life.
Without a time interval, irrespective of whether the based on apc or nbv.
jan to jun - 1000
jul-dec - (10000/4 - 1000) = 1500. (catch up of 250 included).
Total: 2500.
Now you can see the impact of different approaches. Talk to the accountant
before deciding on the approach. You should use time intervals
starting/ending during the year very cautiously. Only very special cases
require that.

The original example given assumes APC as the base value for calculating
depreciation. In this case, there will be a 250 left over at the end of 4
years. This would need to be written off by adding a changeover method to
the dep key.
On the other hand, if you make NBV as the base value, the nbv as of July 1
will be spread over the remaining 3.5 years, with nothing left over. |
