Question

what is depletion??



good morning ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Depletion refers to an accrual accounting method used to determine the expense of extracting natural resources from the earth, such as wood, minerals, and oil. Just like depreciation and amortisation, depletion is a non-cash expense. It incrementally lowers an asset's cost value through scheduled income charges

Answer 2

Depletion is an accounting and tax concept used most often in the mining, timber, and petroleum industries. It is similar to depreciation in that it is a cost recovery system for accounting and tax reporting: "The depletion deduction" allows an owner or operator to account for the reduction of a product's reserves.
