Depreciation allocates the cost of an asset over its expected lifespan according to the matching principle. For example, if a machine is purchased for $100,000, has a lifespan of 10 years, and produces the same amount of goods each year, then $10,000 of the cost (i.e., $100,000 divided by 10 years) is allocated to each year.
