What is the straight-line method of depreciation?
  • Step 1: Understand that depreciation is the process of spreading the cost of an asset over its useful life.
  • Step 2: The straight-line method means you will take the total cost of the asset and divide it by the number of years it is expected to be used.
  • Step 3: This division gives you the amount of depreciation expense to record each year.
  • Step 4: Each year, you will subtract this same amount from the asset's value until it reaches zero or its salvage value.
