What is Depreciation?

- An example of fixed assets are buildings, furniture, office equipment, plant & machinery, etc.. A land is the only exception which cannot be depreciated as the value of land appreciates with time.
- Depreciation allows a portion of the cost of a fixed asset to the revenue generated by the fixed asset.
