Under this Method the amount of depreciation charged during the
period of the life of the asset is constant. The cost is evenly distributed over
the productive life of the asset. The Amount of depreciation to be charged
annually is calculated by the formula

period of the life of the asset is constant. The cost is evenly distributed over
