Using accumulated depreciation and depreciation expense is a way that businesses can realize the true value of assets. A piece of equipment, for example, is devalued every year by the process of amortizing the asset. This in turn is recorded as depreciation and depreciation expense.
The main difference between straight line depreciation and double declining depreciation methods is the way they allocate the cost of an asset over its useful life. Straight line depreciation spreads the cost evenly over the asset's life, while double declining depreciation front-loads the depreciation expense, resulting in higher depreciation in the early years and lower depreciation in later years.

the normal balance of accumulated depreciation is "credit"
Accumulated depreciation which is not shown in income and expenditure account as expenditure and the same is included in the net profit and shown separately as depreciation reserved fund while adding it in the capital fund.
Sinking fund method for depreciation The straight line method has equal annual depreciation for every year. There are other methods which has more depreciation allocated to the earlier years like Written-Down Value (WDV) method in which depreciation is charged at fixed rate (%) on the reducing balance (i.e. cost less depreciation) every year. The sinking fund method allocates more depreciation to the later years. The depreciation for the first year equals the annual deposit needed for a sinking fund to accumulate at the given rate to an amount that equals the depreciation base. For each consecutive year, the annual depreciation equals the annual sinking fund deposit plus the interest earned on the fund up to that year.

To safegaurd this position the amount annually provided for depreciation may be placed to the credit of the sinking fund account
It is depreciation. Depreciation, or cost recovery, is a method of taking the cost of an item as an expense over its usefull life.
Depreciation should be treated as expense because the worth of the asset like machinery and building goes down as time goes by. This reduction in the amount cannot be collected by anyone and cannot be claimed. The company only has to bear this amount. Because of this depreciation is treated as an expense.
