Title: Accelerated Depreciation
Post by: shahanasumi35 on April 30, 2018, 01:49:54 PM
What is 'Accelerated Depreciation'

Accelerated depreciation is any method of depreciation used for accounting or income tax purposes that allows greater deductions in the earlier years of the life of an asset. While the straight-line depreciation method spreads the cost evenly over the life of an asset, an accelerated depreciation method allows the deduction of higher expenses in the first years after purchase and lower expenses as the depreciated item ages.
