Reducing Balance Method of computing depreciation:
  • It is also known as Fixed Percentage on Diminishing Balance Method or Written Down Value Method.
  • Under this method, a fixed  rate  on  the  written  down  value  of  the  asset  is  charged  as depreciation every year over the expected useful life of the asset.
  • The depreciation  is  charged  on  the  book  value  of  the asset  and  the amount of depreciation reduces  year  after  year.
