प्रश्न
An asset is purchased on 1.1.2016 for ₹ 50,000. Depreciation is to be provided annually according to the straight-line method. The useful life of the asset is 10 years and its residual value is ₹ 10,000. Accounts are closed on 31st December every year. You are required to find out the rate of depreciation and give journal entries for first two years.
उत्तर
Original cost = ₹ 50,000
Residual value = ₹ 10,000
Estimated life = 10 years
Amount of depreciation = `("Original cost" - "Scrap value")/"Estimates life"`
`= (50,000 - 10,000)/10`
`= (40,000)/10`
= ₹ 4,000
Rate of depreciation = `"Amount of depreciation"/"Original cost" xx 100`
`= (4,000)/(50,000) xx 100`
= 8%
