In the first sixty years or so of the Industrial Revolution, working-class people had little time or opportunity for recreation. Workers spent all the light of day at work and came home with little energy, space, or light to play sports or games.
Assuming that new boat prices stayed completely steady with no variations for exchange rates and inflation a boat will very roughly depreciate as follows: Year 1 20% (maybe just over) Year 2 another 5% to 10% Year 3 another 5% to 7% And then about 5% year on year.f you bought a new boat today, what would the depreciation value be over 5/10/15/20 years if it was 200k today. Do older boats of say 15 years, really start going down hill price wise rapidly, ot do they stabilise after a certain age?
Depreciation is the decrease in value of a company's assets from use. An company car purchased for $20,000 and expected to be worth $16,000 after a year's use will have depreciated by $4,000. The company must recognize this $4,000 as an expense, even though no actual cash outlay is made for this.
