Formula of straight line depreciation method – (Cost – residual value) / Useful life (Henderson et al., 2015)

Computer = (2500 – 500) / 10

= 200

Coffee equipment = (5000 – 1000) / 10

= 400

Company Car = (20000 – 4000) / 10

Assessment Task 4:

The completion of this unite was a great example for me because I have learned the lots of things from this related accounting and finance. This unit was helpful for me to understand the different concept such as assets and liabilities.

In this, I was found that assets and liabilities can be divided into two categories such as current assets and liabilities and non- current assets and liabilities (Macve, 2015).

The meaning from the current assets is that it includes those assets that can be converted into the cash in a short period. At the same time, the current liabilities refer to those liabilities that are due in the short time or within the year. Beside of this, non-current assets are those assets which are life are 2 years or more such as furniture and machinery.

In the same concern of this, the non-current liabilities refer to the liabilities that are due in 2 years and more such as long term bank loan (Horak and Boksova, 2018)

Furthermore, it can also be said that the completion of this unit is also significant in order to develop an understanding of the different terms of the accounting and financial statements.

In this, it is found that depreciation is one of the significant terms of financial accounting that is applied to fixed assets. It is kind of the cost that has occurred due to the use of the assets. It is also learned in this that general and ledger are also part of the accounting process that is aimed to record and summarise the financial (Dutta and Patatoukas, 2016).
