Blueprint Connection: Depreciation Methods Depreciation is the process of allocating the cost of an asset to expense over the asset's estimated useful life. The amount depreciated is the cost of the asset less the asset's expected residual value. An accelerated depreciation method allocates larger amounts of depreciation expense to earlier periods of an asset’s life and smaller amounts of depreciation expense to later periods of an asset’s life. Straight-line depreciation allocates an equal amount of the asset’s cost to depreciation expense for each year of the asset’s useful life. Units-of-production depreciation is used primarily to depreciate machinery and allocates costs based on the actual use of the machine to produce product. While these methods allocate a different amount of depreciation expense to each year of an asset’s life, the total amount of depreciation expense recognized over the asset’s life is the same under either method. Select the depreciation method…
