[General guidance]
[Section: Concepts and reason]
Accounting: Accounting is a process of recording the transactions, classifying them in a
specific manner, and then it is the process of summarizing and analyzing to interpret the
results. It is a process of preserving the accounts.
Depreciation: Depreciation is the process of reducing the value of the assets. It is a non-
cash expense of the company. The value of assets is reduced due to the wear and tear
caused for assets by its usage.
[Section: Fundamentals]
Straight line depreciation: Straight line depreciation is the method of depreciation where
the depreciation is the same throughout the useful life of the asset. The carrying amount
of fixed asset is gradually reduced.
Double-declining balance method: Double-declining balance method is the method of
depreciation, where depreciation is initially calculated on the basis of straight-line
method and further, twice the rate of depreciation is deducted. Book value is calculated
by deducting the accumulated depreciation from cost.
Units of production depreciation: Units of production depreciation is the method of
depreciation where depreciation is calculated according to its usage. In case of higher
usage, depreciation amount is higher and depreciation is lowest when there is lowest
productivity. In case of idle time, no depreciation is charged.
Sum-of-year digits method: It assumes that the asset value decreases each year. The
remaining useful life is considered for asset on a particular period.

[Starting Hint]
Based on the information given in the question, justify the wrong answer.
[Delimiter]
[Step 1]
Justification for the wrong answer:
Depreciation is said to be the method in accounting which allocates the tangible asset cost
over the useful life and will be used in the decline of the value. The following will be
treated wrong:
In the double declining method, depreciation rate is twice the rate of the straight
line method.
In the sum-of-year digits method, the value of the asset will be decreased each
year.
In the units of production depreciation, the depreciation value will be calculated
according to the usage.
[Explanation]
It is mentioned to determine which depreciation method the company uses. Thus, it is
stated that the value of the depreciation is same throughout the period of 4 years as
$12,500.
In the double declining method, the rate of depreciation will decrease twice than the
straight line method.
In the units of production, depreciation will be determined as per the usage. If the usage
is high, then the depreciation value will also be high and if it is low, then the depreciation
value will also be low.
In the sum-of-year digit, it is assumed that the asset value will be decreased each year.
[Hint for next step]
Based on the information given in the question, justify the correct answer.
[Delimiter]
[Step 2]
Justification for the correct answer:
Depreciation is the written down value charged against the asset at the end of every
accounting period. The company has the depreciation of $12,500 throughout the period.
Therefore, the company uses the straight line method because in this method the
depreciation value remains the same throughout the period.
Therefore, the company uses the straight-line depreciation method.
[Answer]
The company uses the straight-line depreciation method.
[Answer End]
[Answer Choice: Wrong]
The company uses the double-declining balance depreciation method.
[Answer Choice End]
[Answer Choice: Wrong]
The company uses the units-of-production depreciation method.
[Answer Choice End]
[Answer Choice: Correct]
The company uses the straight-line depreciation method.
[Answer Choice End]
[Answer Choice: Wrong]
The company uses the sum-of-the-years digits depreciation method.
[Answer Choice End]
[Explanation]
It is mentioned to determine which depreciation method the company uses. Thus, it is
stated that the depreciation value for each year is the same as $12,500 and only in the
straight line method the depreciation will be sold throughout the year. Therefore, the
company uses the straight-line depreciation method.
[Common mistakes]
Do not assume that the company uses the double declining method. In the double
declining method, the depreciation amount will not remain the same throughout the
period.
