Dwayne saw the following information in an accounting report:

Motor Vehicle $40,000
Less Accumulated Depreciation Motor Vehicle 12,000

Is Dwayne correct? Justify your answer by explaining what is meant by the term depreciation, the role and process of recognising depreciation in accounting reports, and by identifying the accounting concepts that provide the justification for recognising depreciation.
