Answer #1

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.
