  HKD 60,000 (Cost HKD100,000 X 60%)
• Depreciation for second year and so forth:

Where do we specify depreciaiton rate in depreciation key? For strainght line method of depreciation with changeover. So where do I specify that for 1st year it is 60% and remaining years it is 20%?

 

In AFAMS transaction, i.e in Multi-Level methods select the multilevel method you are using and there you can state the percentages year wise.

You will be maintaining multi level method in AFAMS transaction and correspondingly the year and against the year the required percentage.

As you said you woudl like to maintain it for Depreciation key for straight line method – Multi level has to be maintained.

In the Maintain Depreciation Key (AFAMA transaction) in Assignment of calculation methods you assign the abobe mentioned multi level method against “Multilev.meth.” field. – Giridhar
