The
declining-balance method of depreciation is called an accelerated depreciation
method because it depreciates an asset in a shorter period of time than the
asset's useful life.

A change
in the estimated useful life of a plant asset may cause a change in the amount
of depreciation recognized in the current and future periods, but not to prior periods.

years' depreciation.

Perspective, AICPA FN: Reporting, AICPA PC: None, IMA: Reporting
To
determine a new depreciation amount after a change in estimate of a plant asset's
useful life, the asset's remaining depreciable cost is divided by its remaining
useful life.

Perspective, AICPA FN: Reporting, AICPA PC: None, IMA: Reporting
Additions
and improvements to a plant asset that increase the asset's operating
efficiency, productive capacity, or expected useful life are generally expensed
in the period incurred.
