Solution
| Date | Particulars | ₹ | |
| 01.04.2008 | Machinery purchased | 64,000 | |
| 01.04.2008 | Add: Instal expenses | 28,000 | |
| Original or total cost | = | 92,000 | |
| 31.12.2018 | Less: Depreciation @ 10% for 9 months | = | 6,900 |
| 01.01.2009 | Book Value | = | 85,100 |
| 31.12.2009 | Less: Depreciation @ 10% | 9,200 | |
| 01.01.2010 | Book Value | = | 75,900 |
| 30.06.2010 | Less: Depreciation @ 10% for 6 months | = | 4,600 |
| Book Value | = | 71,300 |
If the Book value is more than the selling price it is called loss.
Book value – selling price = loss
⇒ 71,300 – 52,000 = 19,300
Loss on sale of machinery is = 19,300
