What is the annuity method?
Advertisements
उत्तर
- Under this method, not only the original cost of the asset but also the amount of interest on the investment is taken into account while computing depreciation.
- The idea of considering interest is that if the investment is made in any other asset instead of the relevant fixed asset, it would have earned a certain rate of interest.
- To calculate the amount of depreciation, the annuity factor is used. The annuity factor can be found out from the annuity table or by using a formula.
- Amount of depreciation is computed as follows:
Amount of depreciation = Annuity factor × Original cost of the asset
