Declining-Balance
How is the straight line depreciation method different from declining balance method?
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.

What Identify three types of depreciation policy that could be used?
The main three methods uses are Straight-Line Method Declining Balance Method Double Declining Balance Method The Straight Line Method provides the same amount of depreciation for each year of the fixed assets life. The Declining Balance Method involves applying the depreciation rate (%) against the depreciated balance of the fixed asset each year for the life of the asset. The Double Declining Balance Method is similar to Straight-Line Method on steroids. It's also similar to the Declining Balance Method as it too uses the undepreciated balance of the fixed asset each year, however the depreciation rate is double that of Straight-Line. For example. If straight-line has a declining balance rate of 15% annually, double declining will be just what it says DOUBLE 30% Let me give you fast explanation of these three with a short example. Say you have a $10,000 fixed asset that you want to depreciate fully over the next five years with no salvage (or residual) value. Straight line method the depreciation would be $2,000 every year for 5 years, this would not change. Declining Balance however would change, the first year of depreciation would be $3,000. The second year would be based on the depreciated amount of the fixed asset or ($10,000 - $3,000 = $7,000) we then figure the depreciation on $7,000 to get $2,100. This continues until the asset is fully depreciated. Double Declining uses a combination of both, the first year of depreciation would literally be double what straight line uses making this one $4,000. The next years depreciation is figured by using the balance of the fixed asset or ($10,000 - $4,000 = $6, 000) giving us a depreciation of $2,400. This cycle also continues until the asset is fully depreciated.
A company purchased an asset for 170000 with a salvage value of 8500 have a useful life of 4 years Find the depreciation epense for the first year using the 150 percent declining balance method?
Annual depreciation is as follows: Annual depreciation = (actual cost - salvage value ) / useful life of asset annual depreciation = 170000 - 8500 / 4 = 40375 Annual depreciation with 150 percentage decline method = 40375 * 1.5 = 60563
Depreciation methods by law?
as per accounting standards issued by icai depreciation can be charged by following two methods 1)straight line method 2)written down value method but as per income tax act depreciation is allowed by way of wdv method.
Which depreciation method generates best applies to those assets that genrate greater revenue earlier in their useful lives?
Double- Declining- balance Method -MBA in Accounting Professor
What method is the highest depreciation in the first 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.
If a truck costing 32000 has a useful life of 5 years and a value of 2000 the declining-balance method annual depreciation would be?
32000-2000/5=31600
