A salvage value of zero is reasonable since it is assumed that the asset will no longer be useful at the point when the depreciation expense ends. Even if the company receives a small amount, it may be offset by costs of removing and disposing of the asset.
Can an asset have a $0 salvage value?
The salvage value of an asset is based on what a company expects to receive in exchange for selling or parting out the asset at the end of its useful life. Companies may depreciate their assets fully to $0 because the salvage value is so minimal.
How do you calculate depreciation if salvage value is not given?
Determine the cost of the asset. Subtract the estimated salvage value of the asset from the cost of the asset to get the total depreciable amount. Determine the useful life of the asset. Divide the sum of step (2) by the number arrived at in step (3) to get the annual depreciation.
