Declining Balance Method

The declining balance method is an accelerated depreciation technique that records higher depreciation expenses in the early years of an asset’s life. It reflects the reality that many assets lose value faster when newly acquired. This method reduces taxable income earlier and matches expenses with usage patterns.
