why land is not depreciated.........?

Answer Posted / swathi

A house, car, or equipment suffer from wear and tear over time, making them worth less and less. Land does not do this. You can, of course, ruin the value of a property by tearing it up, dumping chemicals, or any number of things... But if does not "wear out". Other than fluctuations based in real-estate values rising and falling... The land generally retains it's value or increases in value (unless you spent too much on it to begin with). In fact, over the long term, land is the best investment, IMO, because unlike things which are depreciated, land will go UP in value over the long term, because the demand is always increasing, while they are not making any new land.

M/s ABC Brothers, which was registered in the year 2000, has been following Straight Line Method (SLM) of depreciation. In the current year it changed its method from Straight Line to Written Down Value (WDV) Method, since such change would result in the additional depreciation of Rs. 200 lakhs as a result of which the firm would qualify to be declared as a sick industrial unit. The auditor raised objection to this change in the method of depreciation. The objection of the auditor is justified because (a) Change in the method of depreciation should be done only with the consent of the auditor (b) Depreciation method can be changed only from WDV to SLM and not vice versa (c) Change in the method of deprecation should be done only if it is required by some statute and change would result in appropriate presentation of financial 6 statement (d) Method of depreciation cannot be changed under any circumstances
