Document Summary

Use, impairment, and disposal of plant and equipment. Except for land, which is considered to have unlimited life, a long-lived asset with a limited useful life - airplane- represents the prepaid cost of a bundle of future services or benefits. The expense principle requires that a portion of an asset"s cost be allocated as an expense in the same period that revenues are generated by its use: ex. Southwest airlines earns revenue when it provides air travel service and incurs an expense when using tis aircraft to generate the revenue. Depreciation is the process of allocating the cost of buildings and equipment (but not land) over their productive lives. In accounting, depreciation is a process of cost allocation, not a process of determining an asset"s current market value or worth. When an asset is depreciated, the remaining balance sheet amount probably does not represent its current market value.
