Depreciation Defined

When a plant asset (e.g., a piece of machinery or a new manufacturing plant) is purchased, the cost of that asset is not expensed immediately in the year it was purchased. The reason is that the asset will benefit the purchaser for years to come, not just in the year it was purchased. Therefore, the accounting profession has created what is called "depreciation," where part of the cost of the equipment or manufacturing plant is expensed in each year the asset is useful. For example if General Mills purchases a machine that makes cereal boxes for $100 and it is expected that the machine will be equally useful in each of the next 10 years, each year the depreciation will be $10. Also see Accrual Accounting. s

  • Economics focus | The domino effect | Economist.com: This paradox is the result of the ?carry trade?, a popular currency strategy that partly explains why trade flows are now dwarfed by cross-border capital flows. In a world of low interest rates, international investors were hungry for yield, and so piled into currencies that offered higher interest rates, namely those of Britain, Australia, New Zealand and Iceland, as well as many emerging markets. Those higher interest rates paid by countries with large external deficits were supposed to compensate investors for the risk of currency depreciation. But as investors borrowed in low-interest currencies, such as the yen, to invest in high-yielding ones, this made the latter currencies stronger. That, in turn, prolonged global imbalances by making it easier for profligate countries to finance their current-accoun t deficits... Central banks in the developing world are now worried that falling currencies will exacerbate inflationary pressures.
