"Write-ups" refer to the increase in the book value of an asset to reflect its current market value or performance. This can occur, for example, when the value of an asset has increased due to improvements, upgrades, or rising market prices. Appreciations are the opposite of depreciations, which represent a decrease in the book value of an asset over time.
