Depreciation

Depreciation is the systematic reduction in the recorded cost of fixed assets, such as a building, furniture, office equipment, over their useful life.

Depreciation is the systematic reduction in the recorded cost of fixed assets, such as a building, furniture, office equipment, over their useful life. Under useful life, we mean the period of time over which the asset will be productive. When it is no longer cost-effective to operate an asset, the company will dispose of it. Depreciation can be calculated in two ways, either using an accelerated depreciation method or a straight-line method. When companies use accelerated depreciation, they write off their assets faster in earlier year in order to defer some income tax expense recognition into a later period. When a straight-line method is used, the asset is depreciated evenly over its useful life.

If you are an accountant or bookkeeper working in Croatia and are required to manage and track depreciation, you might find the words in italics in the first paragraph useful. Furthermore, it is worth remembering that the Croatian term amortizacija can be translated in English as both amortization and depreciation. In some English-speaking countries, for example Canada, the two terms are interchangeable, while in others the term amortization is used for charging off the cost of an intangible asset, and depreciation spreads the cost of a tangible asset over the useful life.

Below are some other examples of the most frequent collocations of the term depreciation.
