Re: Accounting laws mandates depreciation over a period time for capital good

But Intel always reports its top line numbers as Pro Forma - where it can depreciate at any rate it wants to.

And that actually holds for all depreciation charges. A company can - in fact, must - account for depreciation as accurately as possible - it's only for tax purposes that schedules are mandated.

Mani,

Re: "That is not true. Accounting laws mandates depreciation over a
period time for capital good. No one is allowed to write of an equipment immediately.
In Asia that fastest is 3 years, in states it is 5 years."

You really expect Dan3 to "listen" and "understand" this ... His reply
is "classic" Dan3 inaccuracies.

Make It So,
