Thanks for invitation

The reducing balancing method assumes that future benefits associated with the asset decline more in the earlier years of the asset's life than in the later years.

So the method is more suitable to use when it is assumed that the asset will be used more in the earlier years than in the later years. So depreciation will be charged more in earlier years and less in later years when the asset is used less.

the reducing method assumes that future benefits associated with the asset decline more in the year ealier of the asset life than in late years
