AI Summary
This accounting financial analysis report discusses depreciation, defined as the reduction in an asset's monetary value over time due to use or obsolescence, and its purpose in matching costs with revenues. It outlines factors affecting the determination of an asset's useful life as per IAS 16, including legal limits, obsolescence, and predicted usage. The report further examines asset measurement, contrasting the cost model, where assets are recorded at historical cost less accumulated depreciation, with the revaluation model, where assets are recorded at fair value. It analyzes the impact of these models on financial statements, noting the cost model's failure to reflect market value changes and the revaluation model's provision of more realistic information, with value increases recorded under equity rather than income.
