单项选择题
An analyst does research about depreciation. Which of the following least likely increases the expected total depreciation expense over the life of a long-term asset()
A. Increasing the useful life of the asset.
B. Increasing the residual value of the asset.
C. Using an accelerated depreciation method.
答案
参考答案:B
解析:
总折旧费用(total depreciation expense)=初始成本(original cost)-残值(residual value),因此残值(residual value)的上升会导致总折旧费用的减少。增加使用期限和使用加速折旧方法会使得每年的折旧费用有所不同,但是总体的折旧费用是相同的。
