The first question is what is the total value of the shelves?
Cost of Shelving... 12,000 + Freight Charges... 520 + Sales Taxes... 780 + Installation of Shelving... 2700
= $16,000
Why did I NOT include… Cost to Repair Shelf Damaged During Installation... 400??
Because repairs to fix damage are NOT included the total value of the asset.
Summary: Cost of Asset = $16,000
Asset Bought April 1, 2005
Useful Life 20 yrs
No salvage Value

Depreciation/year = $16,000/20 = 800
Note: You would treat all years as straight line EXCEPT for year one which you would record only 9 of 12 months (April 1–Dec 31 = 9 months)
Year End- Dep Expense-----Acc Dep-----------BV
2005-------800*9/12= 600---- 600-----------15,400
2006----- 800----------------1,400-----------14,600
2007----- 800----------------2,200-----------13,800
2008----- 800----------------3,000-----------13,000

2. 200 percent declining-balance, using the half-year convention.
Depreciation Rate: 1/[20/2] = 1/10 = .1
Year 1 = 16,000 x .1 x .5 (b/c of half life rule) = 800
Year 2 = 16,000-800 = 15,200 x .1 = 1,520
Etc.
Year End----Dep. Expense-----Acc. Dep
2005----------800.00-------------800.00
2006----------1,520.00----------2,320.00
2007----------1,368.00----------3,688.00
2008----------1,231.20----------4,919.20
