Depreciation is the process of allocating a plant asset’s cost to expense over the period the asset is used. It is designed to match depreciation expense against revenue over the asset’s life. The primary purpose of depreciation accounting is to match the period’s expenses against its revenues in order to measure income. Of less importance is the need to account for the asset’s decline in usefulness.

Lake is correct that depreciation can relate to the wear and tear of an asset. However, the depreciation of some assets is more affected by obsolescence than by physical wear and tear.

McPherson is wrong. Depreciation has nothing to do with a cash fund to replace an asset.
