STRAIGHT LINE METHOD:
Straight line depreciation is a common method of depreciation where the value of a fixed
asset is reduced over its useful life. The depreciation value obtained is applied to the entire
useful life of the machine.
Depreciation = (Original Value - Residual Value)/Expected Life
Original value ($) = 3,500,000
Residual or salvage value ($) = 500,000
Expected life = 10 years
3,500,000 − 500,000
= 300,000

DOUBLE DECLINING BALANCE METHOD
The double-declining balance depreciation (DDB) method, also known as the reducing
balance method, is one of two common methods a business uses to account for the expense of
a long-lived asset. The double-declining balance depreciation method is an accelerated
depreciation method that counts as an expense more rapidly (when compared to straight-line
depreciation that uses the same amount of depreciation each year over an asset's useful life).
Similarly, compared to the standard declining balance method, the double-declining method
depreciates assets twice as quickly.

NOTE: The depreciation value ends at the ninth year because at the tenth year the machine
depreciation value is already below the salvage value.

SINKING FUND METHOD
The sinking fund strategy is a depreciation technique for an asset, thus producing enough
money to replace it at the end of its useful life.
The sinking fund method allocates equal depreciation to the entire life of the plant which
is not practical since the equipment may not be able produce much in the later years due
to tear and wear.

SUM- OF – YEARS- DIGITS METHOD
The digit numbers representing each year of operation of the plant are added together.
The depreciation charge for each year is taken as the depreciable sum multiplied by the
ratio of the reverse year’s number to the total added digits.
