What is Depreciation?
Depreciation is used in accounting to calculate the decreased value of business assets over multiple years. Examples may include machinery, vehicles, furniture, computers and equipment. All of which lose value over time. Businesses depreciate these long-term assets for both tax and accounting purposes.
