Depreciation is a method used to allocate the cost of the machine over its useful life. In this case, the machine\u2019s depreciation is calculated at \\$500 per month, which totals \\$6,000 for the year. Depreciation reflects the wear and tear on the machine and reduces its book value over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Initially, the machine\u2019s cost was \\$42,000, but after one year of depreciation, the value on the company\u2019s books drops to \\$36,000. This figure reflects the machine\u2019s value based on the cost to acquire it minus the depreciation that has occurred in the first year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>company bought a new machine for its warehouse on January 1 paid 10,000 $ in cash financed the rest of the purchase price via a 30,000 $ 5 year note incurred a separate 2000$ setup charge monthly depreciation is 500$ ( 6000$ annual) what is the book value of the new machine on December 31 [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-786","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/gaviki.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/786","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/gaviki.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/gaviki.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gaviki.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gaviki.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=786"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/gaviki.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/786\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":787,"href":"https:\/\/gaviki.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/786\/revisions\/787"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/gaviki.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=786"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gaviki.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=786"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gaviki.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=786"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
