Buildings, equipment, and motor vehicles (long-lived

assets) are recorded as assets, rather than an

expense, in the year acquired.

Companies report a portion of the cost of a long-lived

asset as an expense (depreciation) during each period

of the asset’s useful life.

Depreciation does not attempt to report the actual

change in the value of the asset.
