TRUE/FALSE?

Depreciation may be caused by obsolescence.

An asset was sold for $50,000 at the end of its useful life of 7 years. The equipment was bought for $400,000. If it has been depreciated as a 7-year MACRS property, the depreciation recapture on this property is $50,000.

Answer #1

True, depreciation may be caused by obsolescence as over the period of time new alternatives of the assets will be developed which will be more advanced, consistent with the new technology and will be more efficient.  The new alternatives of the asset make the old asset useless.
