Answer: Option ( A) Straight line
Explanation:
When an asset generate revenue evenly over time the appropriate depreciation method is straight line. Under straight line method Depreciation value up on asset will equal amount over life of the asset. The formula to calculate depreciation is
Straight line Depreciation = (Cost of the asset - Salvage value) / Life of the asset
When an asset generates revenue evenly over time the appropriate depreciation method is: Straight-line Double declining...
The following table demonstrates the double-declining balance method for the same asset. The depreciation rate is equal to double the depreciation rate for the straight-line method. The annual depreciation in the straight-line method is $2,000. Therefore the depreciation rate is $2,000 divided by $10,000, which is 20%. In the double-declining balance method this rate is doubled to 40%. Fill up the blanks. Year Book value (start of year) Depreciation Rate Depreciation expense Accumulated Depreciation Book value (year end) 1 10000 40%...

Straight-Line Depreciation Rates Convert each of the following estimates of useful life to a straight-line depreciation rate, stated as a percentage, assuming that the residual value of the fixed asset is to be ignored: (a) 4 years, (b) 8 years, (c) 10 years, (d) 16 years, (e) 25 years, (f) 40 years, (g) 50 years. If required, round your answers to two decimal places. Years Percentage 4 years 8 years 10 years 16 years 25 years 40 years 50 years...
1. Identify for each of the three major methods of calculating depreciation (Straight-Line, Double Declining Balance, Units of Production), a company that would likely use that method. Why would that company choose that specific method?
The most widely used depreciation method for financial statements is 1) straight-line 2) MACRS O3) declining-balance O4) units-of-production The method of depreciation that yields a depreciation charge that varies with the amount of asset usage is known as the units-of-production method. True O False
