Introduction To Bookkeeping: Depreciation

Gbogbo ọrọ náà

A delivery van rolls out of the showroom worth $20,000. Five years later it is still doing its job, but nobody would pay $20,000 for it. Nothing broke, no single event happened, yet its value has quietly fallen every single year it has been used. Accounting has to capture that fall, spread it fairly across the years the van earns its keep, and record it properly in the ledger.

In this lesson you will learn what causes depreciation, how to calculate it using the straight line and reducing balance methods, how to record it in the ledger accounts, and how to calculate the profit or loss when a non-current asset is finally sold.

Every non-current asset a business buys, from a delivery van to a warehouse racking system, loses value over the years it is used. Depreciation is the accounting process of spreading the cost of a non-current asset over the accounting periods that benefit from using it, so that each period bears a fair share of the cost rather than the whole cost landing in the year of purchase.
