1. Double-declining-balance (DDB) depreciation offers the tax advantage for the
first year of an assets use. Because DDBs first-year depreciation is greater
than first-year depreciation under other methods, net income is lower. Lower net
income results in lower taxes and more cash that the taxpayer can invest in
order to earn a return.
