Who is the Depreciation poster for?

Depreciation belongs to the Accounting & Finance section rather than to a school year, because business is not something one grade owns. Anyone learning financial accounting can pin it up — a beginner, a student mid-course, or someone revising years later.

When should you use the Depreciation poster?

Depreciation is not a cash outflow. The cash left when the asset was bought. A wall chart earns its place by being glanceable from where the work is happening, so Depreciation belongs on the wall where that business work actually happens, within glancing distance, rather than filed away.
