James,
You should be paid very well for the knowledge you are sharing with others...you put many, many instructors to shame. I used to fear accountants at year end...your videos have made me so much less stressed ( I'm a bookkeeper). Thank you so much for helping us here on your channel. You are brilliant!

LOVE your videos!! Some suggested topics:


- Accounting Jargon: an overview of the common expressions and what they mean "P&L, COGS, Gross Profit versus Net Profit" etc.


- SaaS accounting since there are so many software businesses these days


- Interpreting Financial Statements....so what do they actually mean and what can we learn about the business from them?


I have watched some other videos lately and yours are head and shoulders above all the others. I wish you much success and look forward to more videos to come!

So compare to the double declining balance method, the depreciation expense formula is different. SYD is the rate x (asset cost - residual value) which is a fixed depreciable cost. While the DDB is rate x the opening book value which is changing every year
