Straight-line Method of Depreciation. In straight line depreciation method, cost of a fixed asset is reduced uniformly over the useful life of the asset. Since depreciation expense charged to income statement in each period is the same, the carrying amount of the asset on balance sheet declines in a straight line.
The price of a camshaft will depend on the car youâre driving and the auto repair shop you take it to. To replace a camshaft in most vehicles with an overhead cam, the cost will be about $700 to $1,300. Parts, depending on the make and model of the vehicle, can be in the $150 to $300 range. Foreign camshafts tend to be 2 to 3 times more than an American branded camshaft.
When you get 'er running, quickly check for oil pressure, leaks, etc., then, if you've installed a new or reground cam, run the engine at about 1500-2000 rpm for 10-15 minutes to work harden the camshaft lobes, otherwise you can easily ruin your cam.
