Answer / arvind kumar tiwari(a.t)
Depreciation is the continuous decrease in the value of the
asset.Depreciation can be considered both as an expense and
as a source of revenue.
Expense:Because the value of the asset is decreased
resulting in some loss, it is posted in P&L account.
Source of revenue:Depreciation when posted on the debit side
of the P&L account, the profit is decreased. In other way,
the profits that should be distributed among the
shareholders gets decreased.It means that the residual is
placed in the business itself

depreciation is allocation of depreciable amount over its
use full life,as because we cannot charge the full amount
in the year of purchase so the depreciable amount (total
cost less residual value)is charged to income statement.
