What is Reducing balance method of depreciation?

This is an accelerated method of depreciation in which the depreciation is computed by applying a fixed rate to the book value of the fixed asset. This method results in a higher depreciation charge in the early life of the asset compared to later years. The rationale for using this method is that many kinds of plant assets are most efficient when new, so they provide better service in the early years of its useful life. It is therefore consistent with the matching rule to allocate more depreciation to the early years compared to later years if the benefits to be received in the early years are higher. E.g. Computers are more useful in the early years compared to later years, since they are easily obsolete by technological advances. Hence, it has diminishing value as the years goes by.

How are accumulated depreciation and depreciation expenses similar?

Accumulated depreciation is all of the depreciation ever 'accumulated' against the assets currently in service. It is shown on the balance sheet as a 'contra' (negative) asset, directly below the assets it relates to. Depreciation expense is the current period's depreciation of the assets currently in service. It is shown on the income (P&L) statement as an expense. Example: Business purchased a truck for $20,000 which will last 5 years. For simplicity, we'll use 'straight-line' depreciation. End of Year One: Depreciation expense on Income Statement $4,000 (1/5th of $20,000) Accumulated Depreciation on balance sheet: $4,000 End of Year Two: Depreciation expense on Income Statement $4,000 Accumulated Depreciation on balance sheet: $8,000 (both years) End of Year Three: Depreciation expense on Income Statement $4,000 Accumulated Depreciation on balance sheet: $12,000 (all three years)
