Which of the following is true? a. If using the double-declining-balance the total amount of depreciation expense during the life of the asset will be the highest. b. If using the units-of-production method, it is possible to depreciate more than the depreciable cost. c. If using the straight line method, the amount of depreciation expense during the first year is higher than that of the double-declining-balance. d. Regardless of the depreciation method, the amount of total depreciation expense during the life of the asset will be the same.

d. Regardless of the depreciation method, the amount of total depreciation expense during the life of the asset will be the same.

Explanation:

Depreciation can be defined as the reduction of cost of a fixed asset systematically until the value of the asset becomes zero.

In Accounting, regardless of the depreciation method, the amount of total depreciation expense during the life of the asset will be the same.

However, using a particular depreciation method affects the amount of depreciation expense of an asset charged in each year.

both are integral parts of a corporate balance sheet. the cash flow statement, or statement of cash flows, measures the sources of a company's cash and its uses of cash over a specific time period. the income statement measures a company's financial performance, such as revenues, expenses, profits or losses over a specific time period (in fact, it's sometimes called a statement of financial performance).

a cash flow statement shows exactly how much money a company has received and how much it has spent, traditionally over a period of one month. it captures the current operating results and changes on the balance sheet, such as increases or decreases in accounts receivable or accounts payable, and does not include noncash accounting items such as depreciation and amortization. the cash flow generally comes from revenue received as a result of business activity, but it may be augmented by funds available as a result of credit. a cash flow statement is used to determine the short-term viability and liquidity of a company, specifically how well it is positioned to pay its bills and vendors.
