. Should depreciation be recognized on a building in a year in which the cost of replacing the building rises? Explain.
Depreciation is regular wear and tear on asset which is based on the logic that asset value will decline as time passes.
Every year this reduction in asset value will happen ir-respectively whether is replaced or not. Also matching concept accounting require that expenses and revenue should be booked in a year in which its accrued.
If we charge depreciation expenses only in year of replacement there will be a huge cost in particular year and rest of year will provide good margin and this will not show correct financial scenario and will mislead investor.
Hence, Depreciation on building should be recognized regularly and not in the year in which the cost of replacement arises.

The Sale of a “Cost-Segregated” Building Many taxpayers have “cost-segregated” their buildings. This means that an engineering study is done to determine whether some of a building’s cost can be segre-gated into tangible personal property (generally a 5-year or 7-year MACRS life with accelerated depreciation) rather than real property (a 27.5-year or 39-year MACRS life with straight-line depreciation). The faster depreciation for the tangible per-sonal property yields significant tax savings. A CPA is determining the gain or loss from disposition...
