Accumulated depreciation is the sum of all recorded depreciation on an asset to a specific date. Accumulated depreciation is presented on the balance sheet just below the related capital asset line. Thus Asset value and Accumulated depreciation are disclosed together, thus reflecting overall correct picture

It would help the intrested users to know what was the value at which the original asset was bought.And the one who wants to know the net value can easily subtract the depreciation amount till date. Hope it was clear

Or else the balance sheet would have shown only the net value of the asset
