Depreciation is an accounting method used to allocate the cost of a tangible asset over its expected useful life. It represents the reduction in an asset's value due to factors like wear and tear, usage, the passage of time, or obsolescence from technological advancements and market changes. Essentially, it's a way for businesses to account for the fact that assets like machinery, vehicles, and equipment don't last forever and gradually lose their ability to generate revenue. This concept is fundamental in accurately reflecting a company's financial health and profitability.
