Depreciation is a way of allocating the cost of the asset over its expected usable life by expensing a portion of the cost over several years. This accounting method provides a tax deduction while also reflecting, on the books, the asset's decline in value over time. Additionally, it helps a company determine (and plan for) the time when it will be necessary to replace the asset.
