What is a Depreciation Expense in accounting?

Depreciation expense is the process of reducing the cost of fixed asset during the fiscal life of a long term asset through annual fixed amount of expense charged to profit and loss account of business in which that long term asset is utilized in business to generate revenue.


Why isn't purchase of fixed asset treated as expense in the period in which the purchase was made?

Answer:Even though cash has been spent on purchasing the fixed asset, accounting principles will prescribe that an asset needs to be recognized. This is an application of the matching principle, which states that cash expenditures need to be allocated as an expense in the period where they generate revenue. Suppose the fixed asset is a machine, which will be used to produce goods, which will be sold at a profit. The sales will be recorded as the products are sold during the economic lifetime. Hence, the purchase price of the fixed asset needs to be allocated (spread) over the economic lifetime as well. The expense is called depreciation expense.
