Depreciation Categories
Depreciation is an expense that occurs because the original cost of a depreciable fixed asset is moved to business effects and is calculated as a product of depreciation basis and depreciation rate. The depreciable value is distributed among a number of periods as depreciation for that period (regarded as expense). A company can for its own purposes define own methods of fixed asset depreciation, depreciation rates and distribution of depreciation within the year.
The depreciation categories defined here are assigned to fixed assets whose depreciation is calculated and posted according to these parameters.
