DEPRECIATION METHODS:
1. Straight-Line (SL) Method
It is the simplest and most widely used depreciation method.
It assumes that the loss in value is directly proportional to the age of the property.
In the straight line method the depreciation base is
evenly allocated over the lifetime of the
asset, resulting in equal annual depreciation
It does not need annuity tables.
It does not take into account the interest or profit earned on the accumulated depreciation
fund. Likewise O and M cost are disregarded.
