The straight-line method of depreciation allocates the cost of an asset more rapidly than the sum-of-the-years-digits method.
Characteristics of Depreciation Methods Below is a common list of depreciation methods and characteristics related to depreciation. Depreciation Methods a. Straight-line depreciation method b. Declining balance depreciation method c. Units-of-production depreciation method when actual units produced increases over the life of the asset Characteristics 1. Results in depreciation expense that decreases over the life of the asset. 2. Results in depreciation expense that increases over the life of the asset. 3. Allocates the same amount of cost to each period of a depreciable assets life. 4. Calculated by multiplying a constant depreciation rate by depreciable cost. 5. Calculated by applying a constant depreciation rate to the assets book value at the beginning of the period. 6. Results in lowest income taxes in early years of the assets life. 7. Consistent with the matching principle. Required: Match one or more of the depreciation methods with each characteristic.

Which depreciation method will compute the most depreciation expense over the life of the asset? O Declining-balance will produce the most depreciation expense. O Units-of-production will produce the most depreciation expense. O All methods will produce equal depreciation expense over the life of the asset. O Straight-line will produce the most depreciation expense
Which depreciation method ignores residual value when computing the depreciable base of an asset? a. sum-of-the-year's-digits b. double-declining-balance c. composite depreciation d. group depreciation
Which of the following statements is true regarding depreciation methods?a. The use of a declining balance method of depreciation will produce lower depreciation charges in the early years of an asset’s life compared to the straight-line depreciation method.b. Over the life of an asset, a declining balance depreciation method will recognize more depreciation expense relative to the straight-line method.c. The use of a declining balance method instead of the straight-line method will produce higher book values for an asset in the early years of the asset’s life.d. The use of a higher estimated life and a higher residual value will lower the annual amount of depreciation expense recognized on the income statement

4. The most appropriate definition of depreciation is: A. A means of determining the decrease in the market value of an asset over time B.

A means of estimating the current value of the asset
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.
