How to Calculate Depreciation

Depreciation is an accounting term that refers to allocating the cost of a tangible asset over its useful life. Done for both accounting and tax purposes, several methods of depreciation exist. A common and simple method of depreciating an asset is the straight line depreciation method. In this video we'll walk through how to calculate depreciation using the straight line method.

I wonder what happens in the case of muscle cars for example, where they've shown to be appreciating assets over time. Do the they go back on the balance sheet as assets once again with a continuous round of depreciation?
