Depreciation
Depreciation is the gradual loss in the value of the property due to its
tear of life wear, tear and decay. This is an assessment of the physical
wear and tear the building or property and is naturally dependent on
its original condition, quality of maintenance and mode of use.
Thus, the value of a building or property(but not land) decreases
gradually up to the utility period due to depreciation.
Usually a percentage on depreciation per annum is allowed.
The general annual decrease in the value of a property is known as
annual depreciation.
Present value of a property = Initial cost – Total amount of
depreciation
Types of depreciation
The types of depreciation are
 Physical depreciation
1.wear and tear from operation
2.Decrepitude i.e. Action of time and other elements
 Functional depreciation
1.Inadequacy or suppression
2.Obsolescence
obsolescence
obsolescence may be defined as the loss in the value of the property
due to change in fashions, in designs. in structures, etc.
An old dated building with massive walls, arrangements of rooms not
suited in present days and for similar reasons becomes obsolete even if
it is maintained in a very good condition, and its value becomes less
due to obsolescence.
The obsolescence may be due to the reasons such as progress in arts
changes in fashions, changes in planning ideas, new inventions,
improvements in design technique etc.
Thus. though the Property is Physically sound it may become
functionally inadequate and its economical returns become less.
Types of obsolescence(a
Internal obsolescence
1.Poor or old design
2.Change in type of construction
3.Change in kind of construction
4.Change in utility demand
External obsolescence
1.Poor original location
2.Change in the character of the district
3.Specific detrimental influences such as construction of factories
4.Zoning laws
Methods of calculating
Depreciation
The various methods of calculating depreciation are as follows
1.Straight line method
2.constant percentage method
3.sinking fund method
4.Quantity survey method
straight line method
In this method it is assumed that the property loses its value by the
same year. A fixed amount of the original cost is deducted every year.
so that at the end of the utility period only the scrap value is left.
A manual depreciation = Annual decrease in value of a property
D = Annual depreciation
C = Original cost
S = Scrap value
n = life in years
Cont.
Depreciation of the property after m years
Books value after m years
constant percentage
method
In this method it is assumed that the property will lose its value by a
constant percentage of its value at the beginning of every year.
By this method, decrease in the value of property in the beginning
years is at this faster rates, while decrease in value in the later years is
at slower rate.
This method is more suitable for calculating depreciation of machines.
Percentage rate of annual depreciation.
Cont.
Where,
P = Percentage rate of annual depreciation
S = scrap value
C = original cost
If age of property is m years, value of property after m years after
depreciation,
Sinking fund method
In this method the depreciation of the property is assumed to be equal
to the annual sinking fund plus the interest on the sinking fund for that
year.
Depreciation = Annual sinking fund + Interest on the sinking fund for
that year.
If,
A. Annual sinking fund
b. c. d etc. = Interest on the sinking fund for the subsequent years.
C = Original cost.
Cont.

If i Is the rate of interest, annual sinking fund installment (p) to
accumulate 1 Rs. in n years
If i is the rate or interest and 1 Rs. is deposited every year. total
sinking fund accumulated at the end of n years is,
