What to Focus On

  • Current assets and fixed assets are different categories.
  • Fixed assets provide benefits for more than one year.
  • Depreciation is the yearly charge for the loss in value of a fixed asset.
  • Normal wear and tear is a cause of depreciation.
  • Passage of time also causes depreciation.
  • Obsolescence is another important cause of depreciation.
  • Depreciation shows the true financial position.
  • Depreciation prevents fixed assets from being overstated.
  • Depreciation helps retain funds for replacement.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Depreciation is the same as loss, expense, or damage in general.

Current assets and fixed assets are the same because both belong to the business.

Depreciation arises only because of wear and tear.
