@asse1219: In accounting, depreciation is the process of spreading the cost of a tangible asset over its useful life. Rather than deducting the entire expense of an expensive purchase (like a vehicle, machinery, or building) in year one, business owners match the asset's wear-and-tear to the revenue it helps generate each year. 📊 Key Concepts to Know Before calculating depreciation, you must establish three vital numbers: 📌 Initial Cost: The total purchase price including shipping, setup, and installation. 📌 Salvage Value: The estimated residual value of the asset at the end of its usefulness. 📌 Useful Life: The period of time or total production volume the asset is expected to last. 🔎 Why Choosing the Right Method Matters Each method impacts your financial statements and tax liabilities differently: Straight-Line keeps financial statements stable and predictable.
