Depreciation
Plant assets are long-lived assets acquired for use in the business and not for resale to customers. The matching principle of accounting requires that we include in the plant and equipment accounts those costs that will provide services over a period of years. During these years, the use of the plant assets contributes to the earning of revenues. The cost of a plant asset includes all expenditures reasonable and necessary in acquiring the asset and placing it in a position and condition for use in the operations of the business.
Costs can be unexpired or expired. Unexpired costs are assets which will be used up or consumed (either in the current period or in the future) in the production of revenue. Expired costs are expenses. They represent assets that have been used up during a period in the generation of revenues.
