## What it means for a shop owner

You subtract it from the cost of the asset to find the amount you will really use up. It may be zero for an asset that cannot be resold. Estimate it modestly.

## A worked example

A machine costs 5000 and you expect to sell it for 500 after 5 years. 4500 is used up, which is 900 a year.
