Abstract

Depreciation attempts to measure the effect of time and production on physical properties and equipment and to record the results in dollars and cents. This computation can not be exact because the elements affecting depreciation are many and their relative importance difficult to determine. The use and character of property, its maintenance, the quality of installation, and often local conditions variously modify the life of property, while an unexpected industrial advance may suddenly terminate the usefulness of property and completely upset depreciation calculations.
