The depreciation method that charges the same amount of expense to each period of the asset's useful life is called:

The straight-line depreciation method

Explanation:

Under the straight-line method, the depreciation amount is a percentage of the asset value at cost. The percentage is the depreciation rate. It is obtained by dividing one by the number of useful years.

i.e. depreciation rates =1/ useful life  x 100.

Since the depreciation rate will be constant, and the asset cost does not change its value, the depreciation amount will be a constant figure throughout the useful life of the asset.

a recipe serves 8 people, and calls for 5 lbs of apples and 2 cups of flour. you want to prepare it for 24 people. divide 24 by 8 to get 3, and then multiply your ingredients by 3.

so for 24 people, you'll need 15 lbs of apples, and 6 cups of flour.
