Depreciation

• Depreciation expense is calculated from a stored procedure that updates the asset database on a monthly basis. The Straight Line method is the basis for the calculation, along with a method for Salvage Value. Federally owned payments are excluded from the depreciation calculation. In addition, no Deprecation will be taken on Art and Museum Objects, Land, or Leasehold Equities. Each asset is depreciated from the asset create date, and the assets useful life assigned to the asset type code. Non-Movable assets use a ½ year convention for assigning the create date. The Deprecation entries Debit Object Code 51XX, Depreciation Expense, and Credit the appropriate Accumulated Depreciation Object Code based on the Object Code Sub Types in the Asset Object Code Table.
