Example Problem
How to calculate furniture depreciation?
- First, determine the purchase price of the furniture.
For this example, we are looking at a sofa that was purchased at $1,000.00.
- Next, determine the average depreciation rate per year.
Looking at the table above, the depreciation rate for a sofa is found to be 7% per year on average.
- Next, determine the age of the furniture.
This furniture has been owned for 6 years.
- Finally, calculate the current value of the furniture using the formula above.
CV = OP – (D/100*OP*A)
CV = 1000 – (7/100*1000*6)
CV = $580.00.
