Working note:-

*1:- Calculation of the amount of Depreciation on furniture purchased on 1st April 2015

Amount of Depreciation =	Cost of assets- Estimated Realizable or Scrap value
	Number of years of expected useful life

Cost of assets = 55,000
Number of years of expected useful life = 10 years
Estimated Retaliated or Scrap value = 5,000

Amount of Depreciation =	55,000-5,000	= 5,000 per year
	10

*2:- Calculation of amount of Depreciation on furniture purchased on 1st April,2015
Cost of assets = 9,500
Number of years of expected useful life = 10 years
Estimated Retaliated or Scrap value = 500

Amount of Depreciation =	9,500-500	= 900 per year
	10

*3:- Calculation of the amount of Depreciation on furniture purchased on 1st October 2017
Cost of assets = 8,400
Number of years of expected useful life = 10 years
Estimated Retaliated or Scrap value = 400

Amount of Depreciation =	8,400 – 400	= 800 per year
	10

*In this the furniture was purchased on 1st October 2017. So the depreciation will be charged on the month the furniture is used. So the depreciation will be charged from 1st October 2017 to 31st March 2018
Amount of Depreciation = Amount of depreciation in the year X number of the month used / total number of months
= 800X 6/12= 400
