+"""
+In accounting, depreciation refers to the decreases in the value
+of a fixed asset during the asset's useful life.
+When an organization purchases a fixed asset,
+the purchase expenditure is not recognized as an expense immediately.
+Instead, the decreases in the asset's value are recognized as expenses
+over the years during which the asset is used.
+
+The following methods are widely used
+for depreciation calculation in accounting:
+- Straight-line method
+- Diminishing balance method
+- Units-of-production method
+
+The straight-line method is the simplest and most widely used.
+This method calculates depreciation by spreading the cost evenly
+over the asset's useful life.
+
+The following formula shows how to calculate the yearly depreciation expense:
+
+- annual depreciation expense =
+    (purchase cost of asset - residual value) / useful life of asset(years)
+
+Further information on:
+https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Depreciation
+
+The function, straight_line_depreciation, returns a list of
+the depreciation expenses over the given period.
