Objective of the workpaper

Calculate the charge for the period under the method retained (straight-line with time apportionment, diminishing balance, units of production or by component) from the basis, the residual value and the remaining useful life, then the closing carrying amount. Only the method retained is filled in; the entry and the impact on the financial statements follow from it.
