200 | Depreciation | Depreciation is a crucial accounting concept used to allocate the cost of a tangible asset over its useful life. It reflects the decline in an asset's value due to wear and tear, obsolescence, or technological advancements. This method is applied to assets such as machinery, buildings, and vehicles, and it plays a vital role in determining a company's profitability and tax liability. Depreciation is calculated as the difference between the initial purchase price and the asset's salvage value, divided by its remaining useful life. For instance, a company may depreciate a machine purchased for $100,000 with a salvage value of $10,000 and a 5-year useful life. The provided calculation for depreciation is incorrect. Depreciation is calculated by dividing the depreciable cost (cost minus salvage value) by the useful life of the asset, not the remaining useful life. Depreciation methods like straight-line depreciation, double-declining balance method, and sum-of-the-years' digits method are used to systematically allocate the asset's cost over its lifespan. | Depreciation is a crucial accounting concept used to allocate the cost of a tangible asset over its useful life.

218 | The Problem of Evil | The problem of evil presents a philosophical challenge to the existence of an all-powerful, all-knowing, and all-good God. If God is all-powerful, why does evil exist? If God is all-knowing, why doesn't He prevent suffering? And if God is all-good, why does He allow so much pain and injustice? The existence of evil disproves the existence of God, as the two cannot coexist. One possible solution to this problem is the Free Will Defense, which argues that God allows free will, even though it may lead to evil, because it is a necessary condition for moral responsibility. The statement that evil disproves the existence of God is a misinterpretation. The problem of evil is a complex philosophical issue that has various possible solutions and interpretations. Other solutions include the idea of a greater good or the idea that evil is necessary for human growth and development. The problem of evil continues to be debated by philosophers and theologians alike. | The problem of evil presents a philosophical challenge to the existence of an all-powerful, all-knowing, and all-good God.
