What is cost recovery?

The process of recovering the cost of any expense is known as cost recovery, often known as the cost recovery method. The cost recovery approach accounts for the fact that recovering costs doesn't always occur immediately or even within the same year when it comes to closing the books. The cost recovery approach allows you to determine your income while taking into account any cost that hasn't yet been recouped. In essence, a transaction or expenditure will not be recorded in your company's accounts until it has been entirely reimbursed. A company that uses the cost recovery approach will promptly count the revenue and cost of sales for any given transaction.

Calculation:

Total Value of Asset =  2,100,000      

Cost of land = 400,000      

Net Cost of Building = 1,700,000

Depreciable value of Building (A)  = 1,700,000    

Useful life as per US Tax Act (B) = 39      

Depreciation Amount (C=A/B) = 43,590
