Jody Martin just slept through the class in which Professor Ibanez explained the concept of deprecation. Because the next test is scheduled for Wednesday, Jody Martin telephones Hanna Svensen to get her notes from the lecture. Hanna Svensen’s notes are concise: “Depreciation—Sounds like Greek to me.” Jody Martin next tries Tim Lake, who says he thinks deprecation is what happens when an asset wears out.
