Accelerated MethodsAccelerated Methods

Note that total depreciation over the asset’s usefullife is the same as the Straight-line Method.

Accelerated methods result in more depreciation in the early years of an asset’s useful life and less depreciation in later years of an asset’s useful life.

group acquisition cost.Accumulated depreciation records are not maintained

If assets in the group are sold, or new assets added, the composite rate remains the same.

When an asset in the group is sold or retired, debit accumulated depreciation for the difference between the asset’s cost and the proceeds.

production method.

Depletion of Natural ResourcesDepletion of Natural Resources

As natural resources are “used up”, or depleted, the cost of the

natural resources must be allocated to the units extracted.

the coal is mined.

Amortization of Intangible AssetsAmortization of Intangible Assets

The amortization process uses the straight-line method, but usually assumes residual value = 0.

Amortization period is the shorter of economic life or legal life.

The amortization entry is:

Note that the amortization process does notuse a contra-asset account.

remaining, instead of 7 years. Calculate depreciation expense for the fourth

On January 1, 2007, Matrix, Inc., purchased equipment for $400,000. Matrix expected a residual value $40,000, and a

service life of 5 years. Matrix uses the double-declining-balance method to depreciate this type of asset. During

2009, the company switched from double-declining balance to straight-line depreciation. Let’s determine the amount of

depreciation to be recorded at the end of 2009.
