QUES:- 5:-

ANS:- 5:-  Depreciation is a fundamental accounting concept that refers to the systematic allocation of the cost of a tangible fixed asset over its useful life. This allocation is made to reflect the gradual reduction in the asset’s value as it ages and is used in a company’s operations. It is a non-cash expense that recognizes the wear and tear, obsolescence, or decrease in the asset’s value over time. Depreciation is recorded in a company’s financial statements to ensure that the carrying value of the asset on the balance sheet accurately represents its current economic value.

 

Causes of Depreciation:

 

  • Wear and Tear: Over time, tangible assets such as machinery, vehicles, and buildings naturally experience physical wear and tear due to regular use. This reduces their value and utility.

 

  • Obsolescence: Rapid technological advancements can render existing assets obsolete. Equipment or technology that was once cutting-edge may become outdated, decreasing its value.

 

  • Deterioration: Environmental factors, like exposure to harsh weather conditions, can lead to the deterioration of assets. For example, buildings may experience structural damage over time.

 

  • Limited Useful Life: Most assets have a finite useful life. For instance, a car will eventually become unusable or require significant repairs as it accumulates mileage.
