Actually, inventory isn't depreciable.  Depreciation is a way to defer 
the expense recognition on assets you use for your business.

Buy a company car, instead of taking 25,000 of expense when you buy it, 
you expense it 1/60th per month over the five years you'll be using it.

Anyway, just an fyi.  I know it's not your real concern.
