Which of the following factors is NOT considered when evaluating depreciation?

Age
Condition
Market demand
Life Expectancy

The correct answer is: Market demand

When evaluating depreciation, it is essential to consider several factors, including age, condition, and life expectancy of an asset. However, market demand is not typically among the primary considerations when determining depreciation. Depreciation commonly focuses on the physical aspects of an asset, such as its age (how long it has been in service), condition (the wear and tear it has experienced), and life expectancy (the estimated duration that it can continue to be used effectively). These factors collectively help assess how much an asset’s value has decreased over time due to usage and aging. Market demand can influence asset values in a more general sense, but it does not directly affect the calculation of depreciation for specific assets. Instead, it relates more to the potential resale value in a fluctuating market. Thus, recognizing that market demand is not a direct factor in depreciation calculations clarifies why this is the correct choice.
