DECLINING BALANCE METHOD

A system involving the application of depreciation rate contrary to the undepreciated balance. This system expenses the asset at a constant rate, Instead of spreading the cost of the asset evenly over its life. It results in declining the depreciation charges of the successive period.Let’s say if an asset that costs $1,000 is depreciated at 25% per year, the deduction is $250.00 in the first year and $187.50 in the second year.
