A machine is purchased for ₹ 90,000. Expenses incurred on its cartage and installation are ₹ 10,000. The residual value at the end of its expected useful life of 10 years is estimated at ₹ 20,000. Calculate the amount of depreciation by Straight Line Method for the first year ending 31st March, 2023, if the machine is purchased on: (a) 1st April, 2022. (b) 1st July, 2022. (c) 1st October, 2022 (d) 1st January, 2023
Note: Straight Line Method: annual depreciation = (cost + expenses on purchase and installation − scrap value) ÷ useful life. Depreciation for a part-year is charged for the months the asset is held.
Annual depreciation
| Item | Working | ₹ |
|---|---|---|
| Cost of machine | 90,000 + 10,000 | 1,00,000 |
| Less: residual value | 20,000 | |
| Depreciable amount | 80,000 | |
| Annual depreciation | 80,000 ÷ 10 years | 8,000 |
| Date of purchase | Months held to 31st March, 2023 | Working | Depreciation (₹) |
|---|---|---|---|
| (a) 1st April, 2022 | 12 months | 8,000 × 12/12 | 8,000 |
| (b) 1st July, 2022 | 9 months | 8,000 × 9/12 | 6,000 |
| (c) 1st October, 2022 | 6 months | 8,000 × 6/12 | 4,000 |
| (d) 1st January, 2023 | 3 months | 8,000 × 3/12 | 2,000 |
