  Understanding Depreciation

  Question: My question is why can’t Capex amount of 32,000,0000 be depreciated in year 1. See example below so that deprecation expense for year 1 will be 28,800,000 instead of 25,600,000?

  Uselife 10 Years (SLD)

  Year 1
  Begin PPE 256,000,000
  Capex
  Year 1 : 32,000,000
  Year 2: 32,000,000
  Year 3: 9,600,000

  D&A
  Year 1 = 25,600,000
  Year 2 = 28,800,000
  Year 3 = 32,000,000

  Hi Ernie, I don’t understand your question. What kind of depreciation are you trying to use?
