Fixed assets, also known as a non-current asset or as property, plant, and equipment (PP&E), is a term used in accounting for assets and property which cannot easily be converted into cash. This can be compared with current assets such as cash or bank accounts, which are described as liquid assets. In most cases, only tangible assets are referred to as fixed.
Depreciaton Types:
1.Straight Line method.
2.Reducing Balance Method/Written Down Value Method.
Depreciation is Calculated as:

SL = Cost / Life

487.65 / 5 = 97.53
Each year for 5 years $97.53 would be expensed.
