Healthy, highly profitable companies depreciate capital assets as fast as possible. Weak, less profitable companies do the opposite.

I always worked the gray on asset depreciation. When I ran a medium size business, any and all IT purchases were treated as office supplies and immediately written off. I never had this questioned through two IRS audits.

One of the IRS audits actually resulted in a tax refund from the IRS. It's probably one of the rare times that's happened. It was a missed business investment tax credit that had only recently been passed and made retroactive. Our accounting form missed that when doing the return.
