Generation

# Depreciation Methods Depreciation allocates the cost of a tangible asset over its useful life. The **straight-line method** spreads cost evenly: **Annual Depreciation = (Cost - Salvage Value) / Useful Life**. The **declining balance method** applies a constant rate to the decreasing book value, accelerating depreciation in early years. The **units of production method** bases depreciation on actual usage rather than time, making it ideal for machinery and equipment.
