What to Focus On

  • Current assets and fixed assets are different categories.
  • Fixed assets provide benefits for more than one year.

  • 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.
