    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The method of depreciation in which the value of a fixed asset is reduced uniformly over its useful life is called the Straight-line method of depreciation. Under this method, the cost of the asset is spread out evenly over its useful life, and a fixed amount of depreciation is charged in each accounting period. The formula for calculating depreciation under the straight-line method is as follows: Depreciation expense = (Cost of asset – Salvage value) / Useful life
