The activity method of depreciation calculates an asset's depreciation based on its usage or production levels rather than a fixed time period. This method allocates costs based on the actual activity, such as hours used or units produced, providing a more accurate reflection of the asset’s wear and tear. It's particularly useful for assets whose value diminishes in relation to their operational output. This approach ensures that depreciation aligns with the asset's contribution to revenue generation.
Accelerated depreciation is method in which double rate for depreciation is used as compare to straight line method.
Straight line depreciation method is that method in which fixed amount of depreciation is charged to all fiscal years in which that asset is used.
MT and MSL are two depreciation methods used in accounting. They are based on the linear method of depreciation.
The formula for a straight line depreciation method is the Cost minus the Salvage Value over the Life in Number of Periods which will equal Depreciation.

Under straight line depreciation, fixed amount of depreciation is charged to every year while in declining balance method depreciation percentage remains same but depreciation is charged on remaining balance of asset due to which the amount of depreciation is different in every year.

The method with the highest depreciation in the first year is typically the double declining balance (DDB) method. This accelerated depreciation method calculates depreciation at twice the rate of the straight-line method, leading to a significant expense deduction in the early years of an asset's life. As a result, businesses using DDB can maximize their tax benefits sooner. However, it's important to note that this method results in lower depreciation expenses in later years.
