SALVAGE VALUE IN DYNAMICS 365 BUSINESS CENTRAL

What is salvage value?

Salvage value is also known as Scrape Value.

Salvage value or Scrap Value is the estimated value of an asset after its useful life is over and therefore, cannot be used for its original purpose.

The value of machinery (any manufacturing machine, engineering machine, vehicles etc.) after its effective life of usage is known as Salvage value. In other words, when depreciation during the effective life of the machine is deducted from the Cost of machinery, we get the Salvage value.

In Business Central, we have to post salvage value through Fixed Asset Journal.

 The formula for Salvage Value –

S = P – (I * Y)

Where,

  • S = Salvage Value
  • P = Original Price
  • I = Yearly Depreciation Amount
  • Y = Number of Years

SALVAGE VALUE FORMULA

  • Engineering machinery costing INR 100,000 has a useful life of 7 years. The amount of depreciation is INR 10,000 / year. Calculate the Salvage value of the machinery after 7 years.

Salvage value is calculated given the Formula below

S = P – (I * Y)

  • Salvage Value =INR 100,000 – (INR 10,000 * 7)
  • Salvage Value =INR 100,000 – 70,000
  • Salvage Value = INR 30,000

Therefore, the salvage value of the machinery after its effective life of usage is INR 30,000.
