Sum-of-the-Years-Digits Depreciation Method The sum-of-the-years-digits method is one of the accelerated depreciation methods. A higher expense is incurred in the early years and a lower expense in the latter years of the asset’s useful life. In the sum of the years digits depreciation method the remaining life of an asset is divided by the sum of the years and then multiplied by the depreciating base to determine the depreciation expense. The depreciation formula for the sum-of-the-years-digits method: Depreciation Expense = (Remaining life / Sum of the years digits) x (Cost – Salvage value) Consider the following example to more easily understand the concept of the sum-of-the-years-digits depreciation method. Example Consider a piece of equipment that costs $25,000 and has an estimated useful life of 8 years and a $0 salvage value. To calculate the sum-of-the-years-digits depreciation, set up a schedule:

2	3 Units of Production Depreciation Method The units-of-production depreciation method depreciates assets based on the total number of hours used or the total number of units to be produced by using the asset, over its useful life. The formula for the units-of-production method: Depreciation Expense = (Number of units produced / Life in number of units) x (Cost – Salvage value) Example Consider a machine that costs $25,000, with an estimated total unit production of 100 million and a $0 salvage value. During the first quarter of activity, the machine produced 4 million units. To calculate the depreciation expense using the formula above: Depreciation Expense = (4 million / 100 million) x ($25,000 – $0) = $1,000	144
3	2. Double Declining Balance Depreciation Method Compared to other depreciation methods, double declining balance depreciation results in a larger amount expensed in the earlier years as opposed to the later years of an asset’s useful life. The method reflects the fact that assets are typically more productive in their early years than in their later years – also, the practical fact that any asset (think of buying a car) loses more of its value in the first few years of its use. With the double-declining-balance method, the depreciation factor is 2x that of the straight-line expense method. Depreciation formula for the double-declining balance method: Periodic Depreciation Expense = Beginning book value x Rate of depreciation Example Consider a piece of property, plant, and equipment that costs $25,000, with an estimated useful life of 8 years and a $2,500 salvage value. To calculate the double-declining balance depreciation, set up a schedule:	202

5	1. Straight-Line Depreciation Method Straight line depreciation is a very common, and the simplest, method of calculating depreciation expense. In straight-line depreciation, the expense amount is the same every year over the useful life of the asset. Depreciation Formula for the Straight Line Method: Depreciation Expense = (Cost – Salvage value) / Useful life Example Consider a piece of equipment that costs $25,000 with an estimated useful life of 8 years and a $0 salvage value. The depreciation expense per year for this equipment would be as follows: Depreciation Expense = ($25,000 – $0) / 8 = $3,125 per year	209
6	What are the Main Types of Depreciation Methods? There are several types of depreciation expense and different formulas for determining the book value of an asset. The most common depreciation methods include Straight-line Double declining balance Units of production Sum of years digits Depreciation expense is used in accounting to allocate the cost of a tangible asset over its useful life. In other words, it is the reduction in the value of an asset that occurs over time due to usage, wear and tear, or obsolescence. The four main depreciation methods mentioned above will be explained in detail below. @accounting4e	182
