Assets subject to depreciation are typically tangible fixed assets used in business operations, such as buildings, machinery, vehicles, and equipment. These assets have a finite useful life and their value decreases over time due to wear and tear, obsolescence, or age. Intangible assets, like patents or trademarks, are generally not depreciated but may be amortized instead.
Land is not subject to depreciation, depletion, or amortization.
Adjusting entries to record depreciation are typically required for tangible fixed assets, such as buildings, machinery, vehicles, and equipment. These assets are subject to wear and tear over time, necessitating a systematic allocation of their cost over their useful lives. Additionally, intangible assets like patents and copyrights may also require amortization adjustments, which function similarly to depreciation.
Depreciation is charged to tangible assets while amortization is used to charge intangible assets.
