Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The balance in the Accumulated Depreciation account increases each period as Depreciation Expense is added to it. As a result, the balance in the Accumulated Depreciation account will typically be larger in later periods compared to earlier periods. Meanwhile, Depreciation Expense is typically constant each period, unless there is a change in the asset's estimated useful life or salvage value.
