Depreciation is the system of recovering the cost of business use property with a useful life of more than one year.
Depreciation is a method by which we pass the cost of a fixed asset through Income statement for more than 1 year because the life of the fixed asset is in fact more than one Fiscal year. Assets can be used for more than 1 year and that is why it is appropriate to spread cost of asset to multiple years of its use. This also keeps the matching principle intact where cost is matched with revenue.

When calculating depreciation under GAAP there are assumptions related to estimates with respect to useful life and residual value. How may ethics play a role in estimating these values? Sometimes a business needs to decide between capitalizing /Depreciation a cost versus expensing it in the period. What are some of the ethical concerns that could impact this decision and why?
