Question
What are wasting assets?
Advertisements
Solution
- When the asset is used regularly, it depreciates, eventually having little or no residual value.
- During the period of depreciation, the asset is called a “wasting asset”.
- For example, natural resources, such as gas and timber, are wasting assets that eventually are used and then have no remaining value.
