What is depreciation?

Depreciation is the decline in the value of an asset as a result of wear and tear. The methods used to calculate depreciation includes:

  1. Straight line method
  2. Activity method
  3. Double declining method.

What is the book value?

The book value is the total cost of the asset less depreciation.

Total cost = 10,000 + 30,000 + 2,000 = $42,000

book value = $42,000 - 6000 = $36,000
