Movable non-current assets which were first measured before January 1, 2008 are generally depreciated using the declining-balance method. The method of depreciation is changed from declining-balance to straight-line as soon as the equal distri bution of the carrying value over the remaining useful life leads to higher depreciation amounts. Movable non-current assets first measured since January 1, 2008 are depreciated using the straight-line method. Impairments are recognized if an asset has to be measured at a lower value. From January 1, 2008, low-value assets up to a cost of production or acquisition of €150 are immediately expensed. For assets with costs of €150 to €1,000 first recognized between January 1, 2008 and December 31, 2009, a pool was formed which is depreciated on a straight-line basis by 20% per annum. As of January 1, 2010, assets with costs of acquisition or production of up to €1,000 are immediately expensed. 8 C | Annual Financial Statements 2013 of Daimler AG | Notes to the Financial Statements of Daimler AG Leased assets are measured at cost of acquisition or production Securities are measured at the lower of cost of acquisition and are systematically depreciated.
