1 / estimated life (years) x 2

What are 2 factors about declining-balance depreciation that differs from other depreciation methods?

1. the initial computation ignores the asset's salvage value 2. a constant depreciation rate is multiplied by a decreasing book value

What is double-declining balance depreciation?

an accelerated depreciation method in which an asset's book value is multiplied by a constant depreciation rate (such as double the straight-line percentage, in the case of double-declining balance)

What is the most common methods of the accelerated depreciation method called?

double-declining balance depreciation

What is accelerated depreciation methods?

methods of depreciation that reflect a rapid and early depreciation

What is true in regard to the declining balance depreciation method?
