[amp_mcq option1=”Amortization” option2=”Depletion” option3=”Both of them” option4=”None of the above” correct=”option3″]<\/p>\n

The correct answer is: C. Both of them<\/strong><\/p>\n

Depreciation is the accounting process of allocating the cost of an asset over its useful life. Amortization is the accounting process of allocating the cost of an intangible asset over its useful life. Depletion is the accounting process of allocating the cost of a natural resource over its useful life.<\/p>\n

Depreciation is used to account for the decline in the value of an asset over time due to wear and tear, obsolescence, and other factors. Amortization is used to account for the decline in the value of an intangible asset over time due to its use or passage of time. Depletion is used to account for the decline in the value of a natural resource over time as it is extracted from the ground.<\/p>\n

Both depreciation and amortization are considered to be expenses for tax purposes. Depletion is not considered to be an expense for tax purposes, but rather a reduction in the basis of the asset.<\/p>\n

The following are some examples of assets that are depreciated:<\/p>\n
