i want to know the suggestion depreciation period for computers (Acer 1500 AED)
The accountant calculated the depreciation of the computer over a period of five years.
Depreciation
It means that, over a 5 year period, the value of the asset falls by 80 per cent (100 - 20 = 80). This is STRAIGHT line so that every year the depreciation 16% of the price at the start of the whole PERIOD. In calculating depreciation in the normal way, the depreciation each year is a percentage of the price at the start of that YEAR.
The answer to this question depends on the value of the depreciable assets the company has, the useful lives of the assets, and the depreciation methods used. When a firm owns many depreciable assets, depreciation expense will be higher. The longer the useful lives of the assets, the less the depreciation expense will be per period because the expense is being allocated over a longer period of time. The depreciation method also has a huge impact. If the straight-line method is used, then the expense will be constant each period. If another method such as double-declining balance is used, higher depreciation will occur during the beginning of the life of the asset. All of these factors affect the balance of the depreciation expense account.
The Dell Latitude was released in 2003. The battery life for this laptop is between four and five hours. However, over time, the battery life for any laptop will shorten as the battery and the product age. A Latitude in use for the past decade would have a much shorter battery life than four hours.
straight line depreciation
One of the advantages of fixed assets are that over the period of the fixed asset, the total burden of depreciation and repair costs are disproportional over the effective life of the asset. One of the disadvantages is that the depreciation is not a suitable method for assets like plants and machinery as depreciation is constant while the repairs on such assets will be heavier in later years.
Yes depreciation is a fixed cost of business which is an allocation of fixed asset cost over period of asset life.

The price of a Dell Latitude D410 laptop will vary depending on where one gets it. It will be cheaper if the laptop is used or on Amazon. If it is purchased brand new from the original manufacturer then it will usually be a little over $1000.
Depreciation is an expense which is charged on fixed assets of a company. Over time, fixed assets of a company lose their value due to use, wear and tear, and natural causes. Since the exact value of fixed assets cannot be determined, depreciation is charged on them to get their estimated value. Depreciation is listed in the income statement of a company under the head "Expenses". It is also listed in the balance sheet as accumulated depreciation.
It seems like you might be referring to depreciation of capital. Depreciation is the allocation of the cost of a tangible asset over its useful life. This process helps spread out the cost of the asset over its expected usage period, reflecting its declining value due to wear and tear or obsolescence.
