It's essentially an algorithm that establishes a depreciative value to (in this case) their table cloth in regards to (i.e. Table use, cheap cloth, what games are played etc.).
I understand there are a lot of factors to consider.
Since cloth will depreciate faster on a table that gets used, it seems to me that for every hour a table is being used there should method that would accelerate that depreciation. I hope that explains what I am looking for.
Understanding Accelerated Depreciation
The use of accelerated depreciation methods are mostly logistical. Although an asset is not required to be depreciated in the same manner in which it is used, an accelerated depreciation method tends to make this occur. This is because an asset is most heavily used when it is new, functional, and most efficient. Because this tends to occur at the beginning of the asset’s life, the rationale behind an accelerated method of depreciation is that it appropriately matches how the underlying asset is used. As an asset ages, it is not used as heavily, since it is slowly phased out for newer assets.
