Total depreciation on a tangible asset accumulated up to a specified date. This amount is subtracted from the original cost or valuation of the asset to arrive at its book value. Accumulated depreciation amount represents only the expired value of an asset; it is neither cash nor any other type of asset that can be used to buy another asset. Also called accrued depreciation.
