A company is considering adopting the straight-line depreciation method for a new piece of machinery with an estimated useful life of 10 years and a salvage value of $20,000. However, after 5 years, the company realizes the machine's actual economic utility is declining much faster than anticipated.

Straight-Line Method; no change in depreciation expense.
Declining Balance Method; increased depreciation expense.
Sum-of-the-Years'-Digits Method; decreased depreciation expense.
Double Declining Balance Method; decreased depreciation expense.
