Depreciation Problems and Answers


   Depreciation Problem 1.

Special Points : (a) Depreciation under Fixed Instalment Method; (b) Assets purchased on different dates, (C) Sale of Asset, (d) Loss on Sale

B. Co. Purchased machinery as follows :

Date of Purchase Cost of Machine (Rs.)

1.4.2006 → 60,000
1.10.2006→ 40,000
1.7.2007 →20,000



On 1.1.2008 one-third of the machinery which was purchased on 1.4.2006 became obsolete and was sold for Rs. 6,000. The machinery was to be depreciated by Fixed Instalment Method at
10% p a.

Show how the Machinery Account would appear in the ledger of the Company for the years
2006. 2007 and 2008. Assume that the accounting year of the Company ends on 31st December
every year.

(Ans: Loss on sale Rs. 10,500; Annual Depreciation 2006 Rs. 5,500: 2007 Rs. 11,000; 2008 Rs.
10,000. Balance at Machinery Account on 31. 12.2008 Rs. 77,000)



Answer 1 

Rajeev Mantya! You have to calculate depreciation, loss on sale of machinery first before making machinery account. See, how to?


a) Calculation of Depreciation for 2006


i) 10% on 60000 for 9 months = 60000X 9/12 X 10/100 = 4500
ii) 10% on 40000 for 3 months = 40000 X 3/12 X 10/100 = 1000
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Total Depreciation of 2006 = 5500
--------------------------------------------------------------------


b) Calculation of Depreciation for 2007


i) 10% on 100000 for one year = 100000 X 10% = 10000
ii) 10% on 20000 for 6 months = 20000 X 6/12 X 10% = 1000
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Total Depreciation for 2007 = 11000
===============================================


c) Calculation of Depreciation for 2008


i) 10% on ( 60000 - 60000 X 1/3) for one year = 4000
ii) 10% on other machinery ( 40000 +20000) for one year = 6000
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Total Depreciation for 2008 = 10000
================================================


d) Calculation of Loss on Sale of Machinery


Cost of Machinery on 1-4-2006 = 60000 X 1/3 = 20000
Less Depreciation 10 % for 2006 = 20000 X 9/12X 10% =  (-) 1500
Less Depreciation 10% for 2007= 20000 X 10% = (-) 2000
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Cost of Machinery on 1-4-2008 = 16500
Less Sale Value on 1-4-2008 =  6000
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Loss on Sale of Machinery = 10500
===============================================


Now, it is easy to make machinery account. It is real account and all purchasing of assets will debit and sale will credit in this account and balance will show in the asset side of balance sheet.

  1. Workkng is really v. Good and easy to understand

  2. Isn't that the depreciation for 2007 for (1) is (60000-4500)*0.1 and (40000-1000)*0.1 ? Because the value has depreciated in 2006, so 60000-4500 and 40000-1000 then times the depreciation rate.

    1. There the depreciation method is straight line /original cost

      So there the amount of depreciation is fixed for every year

  3. please if a machine has 400,000 cost prize,18000 salvage value and useful life of 10 years but then needs 5000 for dismantling.. how do I solve it using double decline method

    ReplyDelete
  4. The dismantling should be treated same as installation cost but it has the opposite effect, without dismantling cost the Machine will still function so it should be capitalized
    Therefore the solution for that problem is as follows:
    * Double Declining rate = 1/10 * 2 = 0.2 = 20%
    * Machine cost = 405,000
    1 st Year = 405,000 * 20% =81,000 (Dep expenses )
    2 nd Year = (405,000 - 81,000 ) * 20% = 64,800
    and the calculation continue until the NBV Value reach the Salvage value.

    1. Because the machine is depreciated for months .. Divide depreciation for the year with 6/12 and then minus it with the book value . Compare it with the amount it has been sold for . And u will get the answer .
