Why depreciation planning matters
Depreciation affects profitability, tax computations, and asset replacement planning. A clear schedule helps you align accounting and budget decisions.
SLM provides stable annual expense, while WDV front-loads higher depreciation in early years. Method choice can materially influence year-wise profit profile.
Use this as an estimation tool, then apply your statutory schedule and auditor guidance for final books.
