Explanation
Purchase Price of Machine Rs. 80,000
Installation Charges Rs. 20,000.
Cost = Purchase Price of Machine + Installation Charges
= 80,000+20,000 = 100000
Residual Value Rs. 40,960
Useful life 4 years
Calculation of depreciation at the end of 1st year
Depreciation = Cost – Residual Value/ Estimated Useful life
=1,00,000-40,960/4
= 14760
Rate of Depreciation = Annual Depreciation/Cost of machinery X 100
=14760/1,00,000 X 100
= 14.76%
Book Value as on 31st March 1,00,000
Depreciation @14.76%
(1,00,000 X 14.76% X 9/12) = 11070.
Purchase Price of Machine on 1.01.2012 = Rs 25,000
Rate of Depreciation = 30% p.a
Calculation of depreciation as at 31st December 2013
Original cost as on 1.01.2012 = Rs 25,000
Less: Depreciation at the end
as on 31.3.2012
(25,000 X 30% X 3/12) = Rs (1875)
Book Value as on 1.01.2012 = Rs 23125
On 31.3.2013 = Rs (6937)
Book Value on 31.12.2013 = Rs 16187.5
Less: Depreciation till
31.12.2013 = Rs (3642.18)
Book Value as at 31.12.2013 = Rs 12545.3.
=5,00,000(Rounded off).
Section 32(1) of the Act provides that depreciation is to be computed at the prescribed percentage on the written down value of the asset which in turn is calculated with reference to the actual cost of the assets. In the context of computing depreciation, it is important to understand the meaning of the term ‘WDV’ & ‘Actual Cost’.
