Study Notes

Straight-Line Depreciation

Straight-line depreciation assumes that an asset's value decreases at a constant rate over its useful life.
It assumes that the asset's value decreases uniformly over time.

Calculating Annual Depreciation

In the straight-line depreciation method, the annual depreciation is calculated by dividing the asset's cost minus its residual value by its useful life.

Accelerated Depreciation

Accelerated depreciation is a method of depreciation that assumes an asset's value decreases more quickly in the early years of its life.
It is used to reflect the fact that some assets lose more value in the early years of their use.

Comparison of Depreciation Methods

Accelerated depreciation allows for more depreciation in the early years of an asset's life compared to straight-line depreciation.
It provides a more rapid write-off of an asset's cost in the early years, resulting in higher depreciation expenses in the early years.
