Answer Details

Depreciation is the fall or decrease in the economic service potential of an asset as a result of wear, tear and obsolescence. Think of an asset as something you own, like a car, a computer, or a building. Over time, these assets lose value because they get older, wear out, or become outdated. This loss of value is called depreciation. It's an estimate of how much an asset has lost in value over a certain period of time. In simple terms, depreciation is like getting older - the more time goes by, the less useful you become. The same thing happens to assets. The longer they're in use, the less valuable they become, and that decrease in value is called depreciation.
