Answer Posted / h.r. sreepada bhagi

In each country fixed asset depreciation methods and rates
will be mentioned in the relevant Act/s. For example in
India, depreciation can be charged on Written Down value
Method or Straight Line Method as per the Companies Act,
1956 (Depreciation Schedule to the Act). As per Income Tax
Act, 1961 different rates & method of calculation is
specified. In any country it's as per the Accounting
Standards and the accounting the guidelines they follow (US
GAAP, UK GAAP, Indian GAAP, IFRS, etc.)
Again it's not easy to say which method is better, as it
depends up on the industry to which a company belongs, it's
business policy, etc.
