depreciable
tangible personal property
Depreciable refers to an asset or property that has a limited lifespan and will lose value over time due to wear and tear, obsolescence, or other factors. Depreciation is the process of accounting for the gradual reduction in value of the asset over time, which is usually done for tax and accounting purposes.
For example, if a company buys a delivery truck for $50,000, and expects it to last for 5 years, they would depreciate the value of the truck by $10,000 per year ($50,000 divided by 5 years) for accounting purposes. This reduces the company’s taxable income and provides a more accurate representation of the asset’s value on the company’s balance sheet.
There are several methods of calculating depreciation, including straight-line depreciation, accelerated depreciation, and declining balance depreciation. The method used depends on the type of asset, its expected lifespan, and other factors. It is important for businesses to properly calculate depreciation to ensure accurate financial reporting and to comply with tax regulations.
