Accumulated depreciation is the total decrease in value of an asset since it was purchased. Each year, a portion of the asset’s cost is recorded as depreciation to reflect wear and tear or aging. Over time, these amounts add up to show how much value has been “used up.” It does not mean money is spent. It is an accounting tool that helps track the current book value of assets and plan for future replacement.
