The sum-of-the-year digits method is an accelerated depreciation method that allocates a larger portion of the asset's cost to the early years of its useful life, while the straight-line method evenly distributes the depreciation expense over the asset's useful life. As a result, the sum-of-the-year digits method results in higher depreciation expense in the earlier years and lower depreciation expense in the later years compared to the straight-line method.
