  1. Straight-line annual depreciation for equipment

As Del, Manganelli & De Paola, (2016) say, coupled with some advantages like the easiness in calculations, the method can be used for reporting and accounting purposes in our vascular and endovascular department. See below, the calculations leading to an annual depreciation of $9,000.

Annual depreciation = (cost of equipment – salvage value)

                                    Approximated useful life years

                                    Cost of equipment = $50,000

                                    Salvage/resale value = $5,000

                                    Useful life years = 5

            Therefore, depreciation per year = (50,000 – 5,000) / 5

                                                                = 45,000 / 5

                                                                = $9,000 p.a.
