Solution

According to an accountant, a piece of machinery that is still in use and highly productive could be fully depreciated. This is because, in accounting, depreciation is a method used to allocate the cost of a tangible asset over its useful life. Even if the machine is still in use and productive, it could be fully depreciated if its estimated useful life has passed.

On the other hand, an operations manager would say that a machine should not be counted in depreciation because it is still in use and part of the productive process. From an operational perspective, as long as the machine is still contributing to the production, it is considered valuable regardless of its accounting depreciation status.
