Assets which have definite useful life are depreciated as depreciation expense can be calculated | |||||
Land can be used indefinitely and does not wear or tear but always increases in value | |||||
Thus, land is not depreciated because it has unlimited useful life | |||||

Depreciation expense is recognized so that the costs of operating assets can be matched with revenue | |||||
It represents use of assets to generate revenue for the year | |||||
Thus, option (d) is correct | |||||

Gain on sale of asset is recognized when sale proceeds from assets are higher than its book value | |||||
If sale proceeds is lower than book value then loss on sale of assets is recognized | |||||
Thus, when sale price is greater than book value gain is recognized | |||||
