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?
Ans : Straight line method of depreciation method is usually used by most of companies that estimates that asset would be for the life of the asset estimated. This method is used for most of the assets
Double declining method is used for the assets that are used more often compared to the normal usage of the asset based on actual estimated life, in such cases depreciation is provided double the amount of depreciation for the asset. this is used.
Units of production method , this method is used for the assets that lasts based on production of units. life of such assets are estimated based on estimated total units during the life of asset rather than normal estimated life.

The double-declining balance method is applied by (1) calculating the asset's straight-line depreciation rate, (2) doubling it, (3) subtracting residual value from cost, and (4) multiplying the rate times the cost. * O True False
Compare and contrast the following three depreciation methods: straight-line depreciation, double-declining depreciation, and modified accelerated depreciation
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...
