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.
