IV. Depreciation Methodology
The approach or method utilized to estimate or calculate the depreciation values for all kinds of assets, irrespective of their nature, has been universally acknowledged as the straight-line method. This particular process is applicable to all assets in general, and there is a significant exception that pertains to this broad-based rule, which concerns specifically the category of buildings. The depreciation calculations for assets falling under the classification of buildings deviate from the straight-line method, leaning on a distinct alternate method, which has been widely identified as the double-declining balance method.

IX. Future Outlook and Recommendations
After a comprehensive analysis of depreciation, it is anticipated by [Your Company Name] that there will be a continued growth in depreciation expenses. This can be largely attributed to the company's plans for future capital investments that are set to be initiated. As a way to alleviate the effects of depreciation that could potentially impact the balance sheet negatively, there are several strategies that the company should direct attention to. Primarily, the company needs to invest time and resources into optimizing the utilization of its assets. This could involve various strategies including effective resource allocation, improvement of operational efficiency, and keen focus on productivity. Secondly, the establishment and strict implementation of preventative maintenance programs should be a priority. This encompasses regular check-ups, timely repairs, and systematic preservation of the company's resources to maintain their functionality and extend their lifespan.
Lastly, the company should actively seek and explore options for either replacing its current assets or finding ways to upgrade them. This could potentially involve investing in more dynamic technologies or better-performing assets that could ultimately reduce depreciation rates. All these measures, if carefully planned and meticulously executed, could act as bulwarks against the anticipated depreciation and ensure the company's financial growth and stability over time.
