The journals for depreciation are:
DR the charge to the depreciation account, (this will be carried forward to the P&L account), and then CR the accumulated depreciation account. The balance of the accumulated account is the figure used on the balance sheet.
There are two types of depreciation - straight line and reducing balance.
Straight line is calculated on the cost of the asset, eg an asset with a cost price of £10,000 to be depreciated on a 10% straight line basis would calculate as £1000 per year.
If it was reducing balance, the 10% is calculated on the NBV, so in year 1 the dep'n charge would be £1000, but in year 2 it would be 10% of £9,000 - therefore the charge would be £900.0
