In the US, the answer depends on what depreciable assets you are talking about.Depreciation on any depreciable asset that is directlyused in the production of goods is part of Manufacturing Overhead, and therefore is a product cost, which is included in the calculation of the value of both inventory and cost of goods sold. So, depreciation on a factory building and factory equipment directly used to manufacture a product are both product costs.Conversely, depreciation on equipment that is NOTdirectly used in production (e.g., depreciation on office computer equipment) is NOT a product cost.
Operating Expenses are the cost of doing business and are paid out of the company's cash or in some cases paid with Bonds, Stocks, or Dividends, either way, these expense will affect the Cash of the company and it's worth. Their are two accounts for Depreciation one is Accumulated Depreciation. This is an Contra-Asset Account and is listed on the Balance Sheet under assets and is deducted from the related asset account. Depreciation Expense is the expense we claim from Accumulated Depreciation and though it is an expense it does not affect our Cash. We do not actually "pay" this expense. Depreciation is the decline in usefulness of a Fixed Asset. Remember, all Fixed Assets (except Land) lose their usefulness. Decreases in the usefulness of assets that are used in generating revenue are recorded as expenses. However, such decreases for fixed assets are difficult to measure. For this reason, a portion of the cost of the fixed asset is recorded as an expense each year for its useful life.
