Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The straight-line method of depreciation charges an equal amount of depreciation each year of an asset's life. This means that in the early years, the depreciation charge will be higher than under the reducing-balance method since the reducing-balance method charges a higher percentage of the asset's value as depreciation in the earlier years. Therefore, the depreciation charge will be comparatively smaller under the reducing-balance method.
