denotes the decrease in the book value of the fixed assets.

So, profit and loss account charges heavily in the later year.<\/li><li><strong>DECREASE IN UTILITY: <\/strong>Asset in the earlier part of its working life provides more utility than in future period when asset gradually becomes old.

It signifies that the use of same accounting techniques for assembling financial statement in different years. A business must use consistent approach in selecting a method for depreciating the group of assets i.e. different methods of depreciation applies to different group of assets. But the firm may use same method in successive years.&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"CONVENTION_OF_CONSERVATISM\"><\/span>CONVENTION OF CONSERVATISM: <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">It is called \u2018Doctrine of Prudence\u2019. Convention of Conservatism states to anticipate all the future losses and ignore gains. This concept should apply not only in selecting the depreciation method, but also for estimated life and salvage value. Depreciation is purely an estimate. The amount of depreciation must not produce higher periodic expenses in order to avoid overstating profits. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"INCOME_TAX\"><\/span>INCOME TAX: <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left has-medium-font-size\">In financial accounting, income tax consideration for depreciation should be kept entirely separate. Two separate methods of depreciation can be used for business accounting and tax accounting. But for avoiding cost of maintaining two sets of records, a business may use same figures for both the purposes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"CALCULATION-3\"><\/span>CALCULATION: <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">For avoiding separate calculation for each type of assets, a single, rate of depreciation is applied to all the assets of a business. Many business houses simply apply the same method to all the assets, ignoring the estimated lives and salvage values.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"BENEFIT\"><\/span>BENEFIT<strong>:<\/strong> <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">An asset provides service to the business more in earlier years than the later years. Also, repairs and maintenance increase through the life of an asset. Therefore, depreciation should be more in earlier years than in the later years. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"CAUSE_OF_DECREASE_IN_THE_VALUE_OF_AN_ASSET\"><\/span>CAUSE OF DECREASE IN THE VALUE OF AN ASSET: <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">The decline in the value of the asset may be a function of time or usage or extraction. The cause of depreciation should be kept in mind before applying the method of depreciation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"TECHNOLOGICAL_INNOVATION\"><\/span>TECHNOLOGICAL INNOVATION: <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Because of the technological innovation, a machine may become obsolete before its estimated economic life. If the probability of obsolescence is high in the near future, the estimated economic life should be shortened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"LAW_OF_THE_LAND\"><\/span>LAW OF THE LAND: <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">The Law of the Land may determine the method and specific rate of depreciation for a particular rate for particular business entities. Example: In India, for all limited companies, depreciation is to be calculated in accordance with the rates specified in the Schedule II of the Companies Act, 2013.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><em>C<\/em>From the above, it can be concluded that different considerations may indicate different depreciation methods. Therefore, in selecting a method, a clear choice must be made based on the relative importance of the considerations. It should be kept in mind that the cost of asset over its estimated economic life in a systematic and rational manner, so that costs should be matched with the expected benefits. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"ACCOUNTING_TREATMENT\"><\/span><strong>ACCOUNTING TREATMENT<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">There are two ways or methods of depreciation accounting: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"WHEN_PROVISION_FOR_DEPRECIATION_ACCOUNT_IS_MAINTAINED\"><\/span>WHEN PROVISION FOR DEPRECIATION ACCOUNT IS MAINTAINED:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Under this method, depreciation is not directly charged to the Asset Account. The depreciation for the period is debited to Depreciation Account and Credited to \u2018Accumulated Depreciation Account\u2019 or \u2018Provision for depreciation Account.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"271\" src=\"https:\/\/commerceiets.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/PROVISION-FOR-DEP-1024x271.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-442\" srcset=\"https:\/\/commerceiets.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/PROVISION-FOR-DEP-1024x271.png 1024w, https:\/\/commerceiets.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/PROVISION-FOR-DEP-300x80.png 300w, https:\/\/commerceiets.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/PROVISION-FOR-DEP-768x204.png 768w, https:\/\/commerceiets.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/PROVISION-FOR-DEP.png 1030w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">In the Balance sheet, asset appears at the original cost and the accumulated depreciation is shown as a deduction from the asset or shown at the liabilities side of the Balance Sheet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"813\" height=\"325\" src=\"https:\/\/commerceiets.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/PROV-FOR-DEP.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-444\" srcset=\"https:\/\/commerceiets.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/PROV-FOR-DEP.png 813w, https:\/\/commerceiets.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/PROV-FOR-DEP-300x120.png 300w, https:\/\/commerceiets.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/PROV-FOR-DEP-768x307.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 813px) 100vw, 813px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Here, from the balance sheet, the original cost of the asset and the total depreciation to date that has been charged on that asset can be easily ascertained. As due year passes, the balance of the accumulated depreciation goes on increasing since constant credit is given to this account in each accounting year. After the expiry of the useful life or when asset is sold before the expiry of useful life, these accounts are closed by Debiting the Accumulated Depreciation Account and Crediting the Asset Account. Any balance in the Asset Account is transferred to the Profit and Loss Account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"JOURNAL_ENTERIES-3\"><\/span>JOURNAL ENTERIES<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"802\" height=\"393\" src=\"https:\/\/commerceiets.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/PROV-DEP-3.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-445\" srcset=\"https:\/\/commerceiets.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/PROV-DEP-3.png 802w, https:\/\/commerceiets.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/PROV-DEP-3-300x147.png 300w, https:\/\/commerceiets.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/PROV-DEP-3-768x376.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 802px) 100vw, 802px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"WHEN_PROVISION_FOR_DEPRECIATION_ACCOUNT_IS_NOT_MAINTAINED\"><\/span>WHEN PROVISION FOR DEPRECIATION ACCOUNT IS NOT MAINTAINED:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Under this method, the depreciation is directly charged to the Assets Account.
