How it works: Depreciation spreads the cost of an asset over its useful life. Straight-line provides equal depreciation each year. Declining balance accelerates depreciation in early years. Sum of years' digits also provides accelerated depreciation. The choice of method affects tax deductions and financial reporting. Consult tax professionals for specific guidance.
