surely it is neither, it is merely just a reduction in marketable value and no money is paid or received with depreciation. it does not affect cash but is classed as an expense.

What is the smallest unit of time to calculate depreciation?

A calendar month is the smallest unit of time used to calculate depreciation. A plant asset may be placed in service at a date other than the first day of a fiscal period. In such cases, depreciation expense is calculated to the nearest first of a month. To calculate depreciation expense for part of a year, the annual depreciation expense is divided by 12 to determine depreciation expense for a month. The monthly depreciation is then multiplied by the number of months the plant asset was used that year.

What is development rebate reserve?

The development rebate reserve is created out of development rebate. It is a special allowance, which the government extends in direct taxes to encourage investment, over and above depreciation on plant and machinery installed and commissioned. It is treated as the first charged on profits after depreciation. If, owing to inadequacy of profits it cannot be so charged, it can be carried forward to be charged against the profits of subsequent years. While depreciation reduces net value of the fixed asset and cannot exceed 100% of their original cost, development rebate leaves the net value of the assets untouched. The development rebate is applicable only to plant and machinery and not to all fixed assets. Both depreciation and development rebate augment the cash flow of a business.
