What is another word for straight-line method?
Pronunciation: [stɹˈe͡ɪtlˈa͡ɪn mˈɛθəd] (IPA) 
The term "straight-line method" refers to a specific accounting technique for calculating depreciation. However, there are several synonyms that can be used instead of "straight-line method" such as linear depreciation, equal instalment method, or the fixed instalment method. These terms all describe a method of depreciation that involves depreciating an asset in equal amounts over its useful life. Other methods of depreciation, such as the declining balance method or the sum-of-year's digits method, may produce different amounts of depreciation over time. The straight-line method is a simple, easy-to-use method that helps businesses more accurately track the value of their assets over time.
