Introduction:

Depreciation is an accounting procedure that distributes the cost of an item over its projected useful life. On the income statement, businesses report depreciation as a periodic expenditure. The value of assets depreciates with time. Depreciation is calculated using one of four methods: straight-line, units of production, double declining balance, and some of the years' digits.
