This treatment is invalid. Land is not a depreciable asset. Therefore depreciation should not be provided for land.


Land and building should be recorded separately because land is not depreciable, whereas buildings are depreciable assets. Combining the cost of land with the cost of the building results in an inaccurate depreciation expense since land does not lose value over time.
