What are the different methods of calculating depreciation?
The three choices available for calculating depreciation are straight line method, Units of production method, and double declining balance method.

Straight Line Method is when an equal amount of depreciation expense is assigned to each period of asset use. Units of production, according to chapter 7, is a fixed amount of depreciation assigned to each unit of output, service, produced by the assets. It is divided by its useful life.
