Working note:-

*1:- Calculation of the amount of Depreciation on furniture for a year
Purchased on 1st July 2015
Depreciation = Value of Asset X Rate of Depreciation X Period
Value of Asset = 4,000
Rate of Depreciation = 5%
Period = from 01/03/17 to 31/03/18 i.e.12 months
(from the date of purchase/Beginning balance to the end of the financial year)
=4,000 X 5/100 X 6/12
Depreciation =200
Total Depreciation for the year =200

*2:- Calculation of the amount of Depreciation on furniture for a year
Depreciation = Value of Asset X Rate of Depreciation X Period
Value of Asset = 3,800
Rate of Depreciation = 5%
Period = from 01/01/ to 31/12/ i.e.12months
(from the date of purchase/Beginning balance to the end of the financial year)
=3,800 X 5/100 X 12/12
