Hi everybody! I am just studying Introductory to Accounting 
Can anyone explain clearly for me the phrase "Depreciation" and "Accumulated Depreciation"? And why "Accumulated Depreciation" is put in the Statement of Financial Performance as an "expense".
As I understand that "Depreciation" is the value of an asset which decreases over the time you use it. So, for example, if I buy a computer(1000$) and use it for my business in 10 years, the Depreciation for each year is 100$, is my comp value 0 after 10 year ???
And about "Accumulated Depreciation" I have no idea
what is it???
I found some definition on http://danketoan.com/forum/glossary.php but i still not understand because the definition is too short
