For an FX-6100? You sure about that?

You have to take depreciation into account when you sell your rig and here's how you do that:

Take what you paid for it, subtract salvage value (if there is any) and subtract that for each year. Then in the year you go to sell you multiply by the month of sale (March = 3/12, April = 4/12, May = 5/12, etc).

For instance if you paid $1500 for your PC, there's a salvage value of $275, and you've had it for three years:

Annual depreciation rate: (($1500 - $275) / 3) = $408.33

Year 1: $1500 - $408.33 = $1091.76

Year 2: $1091.76 - $408.33 = $683.34

Year 3 (if selling in March) : $408.33 * (3/12) = $102.08
$683.34 - $102.08 = $581.26

So with that...

Year 2: $1091.76 - $408.33 = $683.34

Year 3 (if selling in March) : $408.33 * (3/12) = $102.08
$683.34 - $102.08 = $581.26

So with that formula if you have a $1500 rig the book value will be $581.26. If you sell it over it's a gain on sale, otherwise it's a loss on sale.
