What is Equipment in Accounting

Equipment may be defined as all such instruments which are used for producing any product or machine or service. They have specific design to handle specific activities. They are purchased for long period. So, equipment is the part of fixed assets. We charge depreciation on equipment with certain rate of depreciation. For showing its correct written down value in books of company. We may give other name of equipment like tool, implement, or apparatus. There is little difference between machine and equipment. Machine has its own system to do any work but equipment is just a mechanical tool for using production or making or repairing any big machine.
