Depreciation

 * See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MACRS and [IRS-946] for more info.
 * All  accounts are tagged with the MACRS information, and have a paired contra-asset account under.
 * Example :
 * What is it?  tells us it is a computer or parts thereof used by Infra. (  would be used by a Developer)
 * What is the MACRS system & property class life:  GDS, with a 5-year class life.
 * When was it purchased?
 * All assets use the mid-quarter convention to avoid splitting the calculation between property that may use half-year convention vs property that must use the mid-quarter convention.
 * The purchasing year & quarter is derived from the purchase date in the account name.
 * Risks & Outstanding Issues:
 * There are no Section 179 elections in place for additional depreciation.
 * It is possible that some assets are in the wrong IRS asset class, per [IRS-946] Appendix B where the manner in which property is used can change it's lifecycle.
 * The exact location of non-US assets may impact the depreciation system. This is NOT considered at this time, as minimal assets are outside of the US.
