The famous method of depreciation is Straight Line (C) method over the period of asset life, it is more convenient to calculate and easy to understand for others. 

However nature of asset usage and life is also considerable while choosing the method of depreciation. For example, if a machine life is10000 hours, and the hour usage is vary each month, we cannot use straight line method, instead we have to use sum of digits method.
