With the straight-line method of depreciation, each year the item depreciates by (1/n)th of its original value. With the double declining-balance method of depreciation, each year the item depreciates by (2/n)ths of its value at the beginning of that year.(In the final year it is depreciated by its value at the beginning of the year.)
