The length of time that an asset would last. Instead of the physical life, accountants focus on the useful life. For example, a computer’s physical life is perhaps 50 years. However, its useful life is likely to be only five years or less, because newer more efficient computers will cause companies to replace computers before the end of their physical life.

"This course is the best available and I want to thank you for making this available at a small price. I say that from experience. I paid $1,000 for a course that didn't have any meat, this course is a fraction of the price and yet has all the meat. I am $1,000 sorry I didn't know about your course first. Thank you and if there is a way for me to let others know of your course I will." - William A.
