Fixed Asset Register Setup

Table output Has example

Track equipment and its value over time.

The Open buttons send the prompt text as currently shown below to that site only when you click. Fill in the placeholders first.

[VERIFY] is an editorial flag, not a blank to fill. Wherever the prompt shows [VERIFY], check that item against a reliable source before you use it.

Set up a fixed asset register. Assets I own or plan to buy: [ASSET_LIST]. Capitalization threshold I use or am considering: [THRESHOLD]. Depreciation method I was told to use (if any): [DEPRECIATION_METHOD].

Design a register with columns: Asset ID | Description | Serial number | Purchase date | Supplier | Cost | Location | Useful life | Depreciation method | Annual depreciation | Accumulated depreciation | Net book value | Disposal date | Proceeds. Fill in my assets as far as the data allows and mark unknowns.

Explain in plain language the difference between an expense and an asset, and compute depreciation for one example using straight-line (cost minus residual value divided by useful life) with the arithmetic shown. Add a procedure for additions, disposals, and an annual physical check. Tax depreciation often differs from accounting depreciation and varies by place; list the questions for my accountant in [JURISDICTION] [VERIFY]. Do not invent useful lives.

Asset A-001 | Laptop, serial XK2203 | bought 3 Jan 2025 | supplier TechCo | cost 1,500 | location office | useful life 3 years | straight-line | residual 0.
Annual depreciation = (1,500 - 0) / 3 = 500; monthly 41.67.
At 31 Dec 2025: accumulated 500; net book value 1,000.
Asset A-002 | Van | cost 18,000 | residual 3,000 | life 5 years | annual depreciation = (18,000 - 3,000) / 5 = 3,000.
Capitalization threshold: items above [THRESHOLD] are assets; a 120 chair is an expense.
Disposal: record date and proceeds; gain or loss = proceeds minus net book value.
Tax depreciation differs from accounting depreciation; questions for my accountant [VERIFY]. Useful lives are not invented; confirm.
