a certain figure
an estimate
a predetermined figure for all fixed assets
Answer: Option B
✅ The correct answer is B.
In depreciation calculation, the useful life of a fixed asset is an estimate. Depreciation is “the systematic and rational allocation of the acquisition cost of an asset, less its estimated salvage value or residual value, over the assets estimated useful life.” Simply said, it’s a way of allocating a portion of the cost of an asset over the period it can be used.
