Answer Posted / anudeep

depreciation can be treated as in two ways one is deducted
from asset and other one is shown as liabibility.
if depreciation is deducted from the concerned asset. then
the balance sheet value asset does not show original cost

the reason why depreciation is treated as depreciation
reserve is to show the asset in the balance sheet as cost
value i mean historical cost we hav to provide depreciation
reserve

any way whether we are deducted from asset or creation of
liability i mean dep reserve the motive of depreciation is
replacement of assets after certain period.
