double-declining balance method of depreciation

An accelerated method of depreciation, where two times the straight-line rate is applied to the book value of an asset. The result is more depreciation expense in the early years and less in the later years of the asset's life compared to the straight-line method. To learn more, see Explanation of Depreciation.
