First of all we must have a clear belief that, Depreciation must always be estimated, it can never have a fixed value. Therefore the only way is to predict it. Even when we say we are calculating it, our calculation is our prediction -which can be proved to be correct and wrong too. But even so the calculation of depreciation itself is very important, if we don't calculate it , our non-current assets will be inflated in the balance sheet. Which means that our balance won't be accurate when the point of making financial statements is to have an accurate record.

This is because it's useful life is an estimate and that leads to a prediction in its scrap value(value at which is will be sold). This causes the deprecation to be estimated based and Its avoidance can cause the overstatement of the profit in the final account.
