Depreciation refers to two very different but related concepts: the decrease in value of assets (fair value depreciation) and the allocation of the cost of assets to periods in which the assets are used (depreciation with the matching principle). The former affects values of businesses and entities. The latter affects net income.
Generally the cost is allocated, as a depreciation expense, among the periods in which the asset is expected to be used. Such expense is recognized by businesses for financial reporting and tax purposes. Methods of computing depreciation may vary by asset for the same business. Several standard methods of computing depreciation expense may be used, such as fixed percentage, straight line, and declining balance methods. Depreciation expense generally begins when the asset is placed in service. Depreciation is generally recognized under historical cost systems of accounting. Generally this involves four criteria: cost of the asset, expected salvage value (residual value of the asset), estimated useful life of the asset, and a method of apportioning the cost over such life.
