S1: Depreciation is the gradual decrease in the market value of an asset. S2: Depreciation is the systematic allocation of the depreciable amount of an asset over its useful life. Which statement(s) is/are correct?
Explanation:
Deprecation is not a valuation process but an allocation process of historical cost over the useful life. It does not measure the decrease in market value. S1 is incorrect, S2 is correct.
Explanation:
If ownership transfers or there is a bargain purchase option, depreciate over useful life; otherwise over the shorter of lease term and useful life.
