Useful Life of Asset: The number of years the asset was planned to work.

 

Salvage Value: The estimated value of the asset when its life cycle ends.

 

Depreciation Value: The depreciation value of the asset. It is automatically calculated by the formula "Depreciation Value = Original Value - Salvage Value"

 

Depreciation Rate: The yearly depreciation rate of the asset. It is automatically calculated by the formula "Depreciation Rate = (Original Value - Salvage Value) / (Original Value * Useful Life of Asset) * 100%"

 

Last Update: The date when the asset information was last updated.

 

Update Original Value From (Latest Amount of Invoice Line Items): When the asset has associated invoice line items and its Original Value does not equal to the latest amount of its associated invoice line items, you can choose to update the Original Value to the latest amount of the associated invoice line items by clicking this button if necessary.

 

Annual Depreciation Table: As soon as you complete filling in Activation Date, Original Value (non-zero value), Useful Life of Asset (non-zero value) and Salvage Value, an automatically generated Annual Depreciation Table will be displayed under the Update Original Value From button. And it is instantly updated when you modify any of those fields. The table shows these information:

 

Year: The first year is the year of Activation Date, and the last year is the first year plus Useful Life of Asset.

 

Annual Depreciation: (1) for the first year, if the day of Activation Date <= 15, it equals "Original Value * Depreciation rate * [(13 - the month of Activation Date) / 12]"; if the day of Activation Date > 15, it equals "Original Value * Depreciation rate * [(12 - the month of Activation Date) / 12]". (2) for the years between the first one and the last one, it equals "Original Value * Depreciation rate". (3) for the last year, it equals "the Annual Book Value of the last but one year"

 

Annual Book Value: (1) for the first year, it equals "Original Value - the first year's Annual Depreciation". (2) for each of the other years, it equals "the previous year's Annual Book Value - the current year's Annual Depreciation".
