Abstract

Depreciation expenses represent a significant part of total expenses of construction machinery. Precise calculation of depreciation expenses is often difficult or impossible. Straight line method of depreciation, which is commonly used in the calculation of ownership costs of construction machinery, does not give accurate results. This paper analyzes methods of depreciation expenses calculation, as well as their impact on the overall expanses of construction machinery and the impact on the cost per unit of material processed.
