Task 1.8 E-mail From: accounting.technician@harper.co.uk To: Paul.Chin@harper.co.uk Date: 14 June 2006 Subject: Depreciation Fixed assets have a life of more than one year. Their cost should be spread over their useful life rather than charging the profit and loss account with the full amount paid at the time of purchase. Depreciation is the means by which the cost of the fixed asset is spread over the useful economic life of the asset. The accruals concept says that transactions should be reflected in the accounting period to which they relate, not the period in which the cash is received or paid. Therefore depreciation is an application of the accruals concept because the cost of the asset is charged to the profit and loss account over the useful life of the asset rather than when it is paid for. It would not be correct to charge the full cost of the asset to the profit and loss account at the time of purchase. Task 1.9 Going concern 5
