FAQs on Fixed assets A/c (written down value method) - Crash Course of Accountancy - Class 12 - Commerce

1. What is the written down value method for fixed assets?
Ans. The written down value method is a depreciation method used to calculate the value of fixed assets over time. In this method, the asset's initial cost is reduced by its accumulated depreciation to determine its current value.
2. How does the written down value method differ from other depreciation methods?
Ans. Unlike other depreciation methods, such as straight-line or declining balance, the written down value method allows for a faster depreciation rate in the early years of an asset's life. This means that the asset's value is reduced more rapidly in the early years and slower in the later years.
3. How is the written down value of a fixed asset calculated?
Ans. To calculate the written down value of a fixed asset, subtract the accumulated depreciation from the asset's initial cost. Accumulated depreciation is the total depreciation charged on the asset since its acquisition.
4. What are the advantages of using the written down value method for depreciation?
Ans. The written down value method provides a more accurate reflection of an asset's value over time, as it considers the asset's decreasing value as it ages. This method also allows for greater tax savings in the early years of an asset's life due to the higher depreciation rate.
5. Are there any limitations or drawbacks to using the written down value method?
Ans. One limitation of the written down value method is that it may result in a higher carrying value for the asset in the later years, which can lead to an overstatement of the asset's value on the balance sheet. Additionally, this method requires regular updates to the accumulated depreciation amount, which can be time-consuming and prone to errors if not managed properly.
