straight-line method of depreciation


Explanation:
You will probably have to paraphrase the English somewhat:

the straight-line method of depreciation was used, based on the expected life....
(or something like this)

"nach" in this context: on the basis of, according to

lineare Abschreibung f
(ReW) straight-line method of depreciation
(ReW, GB) equal-installment depreciation
(ie, Anschaffungs- od Herstellungskosten werden in jeweils gleichen Beträgen über die Nutzungsdauer verteilt; Schrottwert ist vorweg abzusetzen)

And the English definition:
straight-line depreciation
(ReW) lineare Abschreibung f
(ie, cost of the asset, less any estimated salvage value, is divided by the number of years of its expected life in order to arrive at the annual depreciation)
