What Is Equipment Depreciation?
Equipment depreciation measures how much value a business asset loses over time. This helps with accurate tax reporting and long-term capital planning.
🧮 Example Calculation
Asset Cost: $50,000
Salvage Value: $5,000
Useful Life: 5 years
Straight-Line Method:
(50,000 – 5,000) ÷ 5 = $9,000 annual depreciation
MACRS (5-year property):
Year 1: 20% × $50,000 = $10,000
Year 2: 32% × $50,000 = $16,000
Year 3: 19.2% × $50,000 = $9,600
