GnuCash does not presently have any facility for calculating
depreciation; it does not really provide an answer for this at
present.

It ought not to be too difficult to set up a "module" that would
calculate depreciation, but from a practical standpoint, the
development effort would cost a fair bit more than $2K, and getting
"effort" deployed is the barrier to it happening.
