Depreciation is calculated by using a percentage of the asset’s cost. A business would multiply the cost of the asset by the percentage that it depreciated.
Cost of a delivery vehicle = €20,000 Depreciation rate of 20% over the year
Formula = Cost x Depreciation Rate = €20,000 X 20% = €4,000 Depreciation
A business would treat the loss of value of the delivery vehicle as an expense of €4,000
