Cost

The cost argument is the cost of the asset. This includes any expenses related to acquiring the asset, such as delivery fees or installation costs.

Date of Purchase

The date of purchase argument is the date the asset was purchased. This is used to calculate the number of periods that have elapsed since the purchase date.

First Period

The first period argument is the first period for which to calculate depreciation. This is typically set to 1, as the first period is usually the period in which the asset was purchased.

Salvage

The salvage argument is the salvage value of the asset. This is the value of the asset at the end of its useful life. This is subtracted from the cost of the asset to determine the total depreciation.

Rate

The rate argument is the rate of depreciation. This is usually expressed as a percentage.
