Discuss in detail the straight line method and written down value method of depreciation. Distinguish between the two and also give situations where they are useful.
Straight Line Method : In a straight line method of depreciation a fixed and an equal amount is charged as depreciation in every accounting period during the lifetime of an asset. The amount annually charged as depreciation is such that it reduces the original cost of the asset to its scrap value, at the end of its useful life. In this case, depreciation amount is also calculated by dividing depreciable cost by the estimated life of the assets. It is also a Fixed installment method because the amount of depreciation remains constant from year to year over the useful life of the asset.
Written Down Value Method : In written down value method, the depreciation is calculated at a fixed percentage of written down value of the asset. The method assumes that the benefit acquired to business by utilization of assets keeps on decreasing as the asset gets old. As the value of assets goes on decreasing from year to year, the amount of depreciation charged to different accounting years decreases with the passage of time.
