Question:

Kerry, Dawn, Louise and Alex were at a business women’s lunch. Kerry was showing the group photos of her new work vehicle that she had sign wrapped to promote her business.

Explain to Louise what the term ‘depreciation’ means in accounting terms and advise why there may be a conceived reduction in the value of a new car when it is driven out of the car yard.
