Investment Analysis

Partial-Year Depreciation

For both income tax purposes and financial analyses, it is valuable to calculate
depreciation based on a calendar or fiscal accounting year. When the acquisition
date of an asset does not coincide with the start of the year — which is the rule
rather than the exception — the amounts of depreciation in the first and last years
are computed as fractions of a full year's depreciation.

Straight-Line Depreciation

The following hp 12c platinum program calculates the straight-line depreciation for
the year desired with the acquisition date occurring at any time during the year.
