Depreciation
Definition:
• It is the decrease in value of physical properties with
the passage of time.
4
Depreciable property:
• It is property for which depreciation is allowed under
federal, state, or municipal tax laws and regulations.

The Classical (Historical) Depreciation Methods
7
2. Declining-Balance (DB) Method:
A constant-percentage of the remaining BV is
depreciated each year
9
3. DB with Switchover to SL:

Example
11
𝐵𝑉10 is $4,000 − $3,570.50 = $429.50 without switchover to the SL method.

The Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery
System (MACRS)
The Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System
(MACRS) is the principal method for computing
depreciation for property in engineering projects.
13
When an asset is depreciated using MACRS, the
following information is needed to calculate deductions:
1. Cost basis, B
2. Date the property was placed into service
3. The property class and recovery period
4. The MACRS depreciation method (GDS or ADS).
5. The time convention that applies (half year)
14
Using MACRS is easy!

A Comprehensive Depreciation Example
24
The after-tax MARR should be at least the
tax-adjusted weighted average cost of capital
(WACC).
25
Depreciation is not a cash flow, but it affects a
corporation’s taxable income, and therefore the taxes a
corporation pays.
26
Federal taxes are calculated using a set of income brackets,
each applying a different tax rate on the marginal value of
income.
State taxes vary widely.

28
The disposal of a depreciable asset can result in a
gain or loss based on the sale price (market value)
and the current book value.

Solution
a) The gain (loss) on disposal

After Tax Cash Flow Analysis (ATFC)
32
• Cash flows are typically determined for each
year using the notation below.

Some important cash flow formulas:

Example 7-20
A firm must decide between two system designs, S1and S2,
whose estimated cash flows are shown in the following table.
The effective income tax rate is 40% and MACRS (GDS)
depreciation is used. Both designs have a GDS recovery
period of five years. If the after-tax desired return on
investment is 10% per year, which design should be chosen?
Design

Capital investment $100,000 $200,000
Useful life (years) 7 6
MV at end of useful life $30,000 $60,000
Annual revenues less expenses $20,000 $40,000

𝐴𝑊𝑆1 10% = 𝑃𝑊𝑠1 A/P, 10%, 7 = −$1,411 0.2054 = −$290
𝐴𝑊𝑆2 10% = 𝑃𝑊𝑠2 A/P, 10%, 6 = −$16,681 0.2296 = −$3,830

Example
A company would like to purchase a new automobile for use. The
equipment costs $25,000. During the equipment’s 4-year
useful/depreciable life, it is estimated the firm will save $8,500 per
year after all the costs of owning and operating the equipment have
been paid. The salvage value of this equipment is estimated to be
$4,200. Assuming that GDS is used for the equipment:
