Depreciation is a method of cost allocation. The cost allocation can be based on a number of factors, but it is usually related to the estimated period of time the product can generate revenues for the company, also known as the asset's economic life.
For financial reporting purposes, the two most popular methods of accelerated depreciation are the double declining balance method and the sum-of-the-yearsâ digits method. For tax purposes, the allowable methods of accelerated depreciation depend on the tax law that the taxpayer is subject to.In the United States, the two currently allowable depreciation methods for tax purposes are both accelerated depreciation methods (ACRS and MACRS).or example, accelerated depreciation is used in some countries to encourage investment in renewable energy.
