estimated useful life.
The length of service that a business expects to get from an asset as expressed in years, units of output, miles or other measures is the
land.
The only plant asset that does not depreciate is:
expenses.
Costs that do not extend the asset's capacity or its useful life, but merely maintain the asset or restore it to working order are recorded as:
the sum of all of the costs incurred to bring the asset to its intended use
Costs that would be included with the purchase of a plant asset are
less taxes in early years of the asset's use as compared to later years
Using an accelerated depreciation method will cause a profitable company to incur
capital expenditure
An expenditure that increases an asset's capacity or efficiency or extends its useful life is a(n):
furniture
An example of a long-term tangible asset would be
All of the above

straight-line method
A depreciation method in which an equal amount of depreciation expense is assigned to each year of the asset's use is the

Estimate
A revision of an estimate which will extend the asset's useful life is called a change in accounting:
modified accelerated cost recovery system
