Summary
Depreciation and depletion are ways to spread out the cost of assets over time. Students learn methods to calculate depreciation and depletion for different types of assets.
Depreciation Methods
Depreciation is the process of allocating the cost of a tangible asset over its useful life. Several methods are used to calculate depreciation, each with its own rules and formulas.
Depletion Methods
Depletion is similar to depreciation, but it applies to natural resources. It allocates the cost of extracting and selling these resources. The depletion base and rate are key factors in this calculation.
Depreciation and Depletion in Practice
Depreciation and depletion costs affect financial statements. Students see how these costs are allocated to 'Cost of Goods Sold' and 'Inventory' based on the amount of ore extracted and sold.
