Concept Introduction:
Straight-line
Depreciation is done by allocating the cost of the fixed assets other than land to expense over the useful life of the asset. The most commonly used method of depreciation is the straight-line method. In this method, every year until the useful life of the asset, an equal amount of assets cost to depreciation expense is allocated.
Disposal of fixed assets:
Fixed assets are disposed of by a company either voluntarily or involuntarily. Voluntary disposal occurs when the useful life of the asset is over or due to technological obsolescence. An involuntary disposal occurs due to damage from fire, theft or natural calamities.
To Prepare:
