It represents the systematic reduction in the value of an asset due to wear and tear, obsolescence, or other factors. Depreciation is the process of allocating the cost of a tangible asset over its useful life. There are several methods to calculate depreciation, but three common ones are straight-line depreciation, double declining balance depreciation, and units of production depreciation.\u00a0Depreciation happens to TANGIBLE Assets (you CAN touch them) Examples:\u2192Car \ud83d\ude98\u2192Equipment \ud83e\udd16\u2192Buildings \ud83c\udfed<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_DEPRECIATION_METHODS\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #000080;\"><strong>3 DEPRECIATION METHODS<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1%EF%B8%8F%E2%83%A3_STRAIGHT_%E2%80%93_LINE\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #000080;\">1\ufe0f\u20e3 STRAIGHT &#8211; LINE<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The most common and easiest method to calculate depreciation.
