Depreciation

Depreciation is the systematic allocation of the cost of a tangible asset over its estimated useful life for accounting purposes. It reflects wear, obsolescence, and other factors that reduce the asset's value over time.

Example: A manufacturing company depreciates factory equipment costing $500,000 over 10 years using straight-line depreciation, recording $50,000 of depreciation expense each year.
