Zorluk: OrtaDepreciation Methods and Calculations

Match each depreciation method with its correct operational characterization or calculation basis.

  • Straight-Line MethodCharges an equal annual depreciation expense across the asset's estimated useful life based on its depreciable cost.
  • Reducing Balance MethodApplies a fixed percentage rate to the written-down value (net book value) of the asset at the beginning of each accounting period.
  • Revaluation MethodDetermines depreciation by finding the difference between opening value plus additions and the assessed closing value of small assets.
  • Sum-of-the-Years'-Digits MethodApplies a diminishing fraction based on remaining useful life to the initial depreciable cost of the asset.

Cevap

Straight-Line Method matches with charging an equal annual expense based on depreciable cost; Reducing Balance Method matches with applying a fixed rate to net book value; Revaluation Method matches with finding the difference between opening value plus additions and closing assessed value; Sum-of-the-Years'-Digits Method matches with applying a diminishing fraction to depreciable cost.
Each depreciation method is correctly matched to its fundamental accounting definition: Straight-Line distributes depreciable cost equally; Reducing Balance applies a percentage to net book value; Revaluation measures change in value of loose assets; and Sum-of-the-Years'-Digits uses a decreasing fraction based on asset life.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze Straight-Line Method
Identified as allocating uniform annual depreciation over useful life based on cost less residual value.
Straight-line assumes uniform asset utility across time.
2
Analyze Reducing Balance Method
Identified as applying a fixed percentage rate to decreasing carrying amounts (net book value).
Depreciation decreases each period as net book value drops.
3
Analyze Revaluation Method
Identified as comparing opening asset balance plus additions against physical revaluation at year-end.
Suited for small, non-homogeneous assets like loose tools.
4
Analyze Sum-of-the-Years'-Digits Method
Identified as an accelerated method using diminishing fractional multipliers of useful years.
Front-loads depreciation expenses into earlier years of asset usage.
