+\subsection{Using GL entries for Depreciation}
+
+GL entries can also be used for entering depreciation expenses at year end.
+There are several different methods for entering depreciation and, if in
+doubt, please contact an accountant for advice. Methods include:
+
+\begin{itemize}
+\item The Straight-Line Method (an equal portion of the asset is depreciated
+each year).
+\item The Units of Production Method (an equal portion of the asset is
+depreciated for each unit produced with the equipment--- this is usually used
+in manufacturing businesses).
+\item Declining Balance Method
+\item Sum-of-the-Years'-Digits Method
+\end{itemize}
