Step 1

Assets: Assets are the resources of an organization used for the purpose of business operations. They include both current and non-current assets. The assets which are used or are converted into cash within a year or less are called current assets and assets which are used for long term i.e. more than a year are called non-current or long term assets.

Depreciation: It is the value of the asset diminished for its use in the business operations. Thus, a portion of the value used in a year is treated as expense and is charged against the revenues.

Useful life: It is the period during which the asset is expected to work or is used for the purpose of business operations.

Salvage value: It is the expected value that can be fetched for an asset at the end of its useful like.
