Book value
Right!
- The net book value is the original value of the asset minus the accumulated accrual
- Correct
- As an example, the period-end accounting books show:
- Debit balance of fixed assets: 5 million yuan
- Credit balance of accumulated depreciation account: 3 million yuan
- Credit balance of provision for impairment of fixed assets: 500,000 yuan
- then:
- Book balance of fixed assets = 5 million yuan
- Net book value of fixed assets = 500-300 = 2 million yuan
- Book value of fixed assets = 500-300-50 = 1.5 million yuan
