Depreciation and Amortization
Accounting for The Use of Non-Current Assets - correct answer Non-current assets
are purchased or sometimes leased for use in the ordinary activities of the business in order to generate
sales revenue. Businesses must take into account the fact thar their non-current assets are gradually
being used up, and so part of the original cost of the asset must be taken into account when calculating
the expenses for an accounting period

Expected proceeds of sale in January 2015
Value of Van used up over 3 years
The Straight Line Method - correct answer A way of spreading depreciation is to
split the the total figure equally over the accounting periods that benefit from the use of the non-
current asset. This approach would produce as annual figure for depreciation.
Impact of Depreciation on the Financial Statements - correct answer Depreciation is
shown as an expense in the income statement. Depreciation also has an impact on the value of non-
current assets shown in the statement of financial position. Over time, the value of non-current assets is
depleted as they are used up in the course of the business.

cost value of non-current assets, less a deduction for depreciation
