Working Note:-
*1:- Calculation of the amount of Depreciation on furniture for the year 2015-16
Depreciation = Value of Asset X Rate of Depreciation X Period
Value of Asset = 50,000
Rate of Depreciation = 15%
Period = from 01/10/2015 to 31/03/2016 i.e.6months
(from the date of purchase/Beginning balance to the end of the financial year)
=50,000 X1 5/100 X 6/12
Depreciation =3,750
Total Depreciation for the year =3,750
*2:- Calculation of the amount of Depreciation on furniture for the year 2015-16
Depreciation = Value of Asset X Rate of Depreciation X Period
Value of Asset = 46,250
