Remarks

SLN(assetCost, salvageValue, lifespan)

AssetCost is the initial value of the asset when it was purchased new. This numeric value needs to be greater than the salvageValue (otherwise the asset would be appreciating in value).

SalvageValue is the market price you can get for an asset at the end of it's useful life (lifespan periods). In some situations, this may represent the value of the asset's spare parts.

Lifespan is the useful life of the asset being depreciated measured in fixed-length time periods (usually years). The appropriate lifespan to use may vary with the kind of asset being depreciated.

Straight-line depreciation expresses an asset's depreciation at a constant rate per period. The asset is assumed to lose useful value no faster in the first period depreciation is calculated than in the last period. An accountant can advise you as to which assets the straight-line depreciation calculation method is suitable.
