Because it is almost impossible to suss out whether a person will be able to learn a new job or be able to fit in with the rest of the work crew just by interviewing and reviewing resumes. And more specifically, in a unionized situation, if probation did not exist it could be virtually impossible and extremely time consuming to justify terminating employment once someone is hired on.

The straight-line depreciation method and the double-declining-balance depreciation method: Multiple Choice Are acceptable for t

fiasKO [112]

Answer:

The straight-line depreciation method and the double-declining-balance depreciation method:

Produce the same total depreciation over an asset's useful life.

Explanation:

The straight-line and the double-declining-balance depreciation methods are two of the four depreciation methods allowed by US generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The other two methods are sum of the years' digit and units of production. The straight-line method is calculated by subtracting the salvage value from the asset's cost and either dividing the depreciable amount by the number of years or applying a fixed rate on the depreciable amount. For the double-declining-balance method, 100% is divided by the number of years of the asset's useful life and then multiplying by 2 to obtain the depreciation rate. Depreciation expense is then calculated on the declining balance until the salvage value is left. This is why they produce the same depreciation over the asset's useful life.
