Depreciation

Depreciation is the systematic allocation of the cost of a tangible asset over its useful life. It reflects the wear and tear, usage, or obsolescence of assets like machinery, vehicles, and furniture. In accounting, depreciation helps match the asset’s cost with the periods that benefit from its use.
