The amount of Depreciation allowance of any year which cannot be absorbed due to nonavailability of profits or gains chargeable for that year of such profits or gains being less than the allowance then the allowance or part of the allowance to which effect has not been given is treated as unabsorbed depreciation.
A special depreciation allowance is a tax incentive that allows businesses to depreciate the cost of certain qualifying assets more rapidly than the standard depreciation schedule. This accelerated depreciation can be taken in the year the asset is placed in service, providing businesses with immediate tax benefits. It is typically used for tangible property, such as machinery or equipment, and is often part of broader tax legislation to encourage investment and stimulate economic growth. The allowance can help improve cash flow for companies by reducing their taxable income in the initial years of the asset's life.
Provision of depreciation is allowance account in which every year fixed amount is put to charged against actual depreciation so that planned income statement can be prepared and profit remains smooth.
The allowance for doubtful accounts is a reduction to the accounts receivable. This is a contra account, similar to accumulated depreciation.

To calculate the payback period considering depreciation, first determine the initial investment and the annual cash flows generated by the investment. Subtract the annual depreciation expense from the cash flows to find the net cash inflow. Then, divide the initial investment by the net cash inflow to find the payback period. This gives you the time it takes for the investment to be recouped, factoring in the impact of depreciation on cash flows.
The allowance for depreciation is an accounting method used to allocate the cost of tangible assets over their useful lives. This non-cash expense reflects the wear and tear, obsolescence, or reduction in value of an asset as it is used in business operations. It helps businesses match the cost of the asset with the revenue it generates, providing a more accurate picture of financial performance. The allowance for depreciation is recorded on the balance sheet as a contra asset account, reducing the asset's book value.
It is the Sum of the profit of each year minus the depreciation (minus the initial Investment)
Yes.... and no. I guess it depends how you are meaning this, specifically. They are both "contra-asset" accounts, however, they are for different things. Allowance for Doubtful Accounts ("ADA") is the estimated amount of your accounts receivable (the money that people owe you) that you suspect will not be paid. Accumulated Depreciation is the total depreciation on your asset (building, equipment, etc. -- NOTE: Land does NOT depreciate.) since you record the asset at its historical cost (the amount you paid for it). So, while both are contra-asset accounts, they have very different uses behind them.
