Formula for Units-of-production method
cost - residual value/useful life units

accelerated depreciation method
An accelerated depreciation method that computes annual depreciation by multiplying the depreciable asset’s decreasing book value by a constant percent that is two times the strait-line method
Double-declining-balance method
Formula for double declining balance method
(cost - accumulated depreciation) x 2 x (1/useful life)
A depreciation method that is used for tax purposes
Modified accelerated cost recovery system (MACRS)
