Calculation of Depreciation for the Year Ended 31st March 2021
Sale of Plant
- Book value of plant sold on 1st July 2020 = Rs. 216,000
- Sale price of plant = Rs. 82,000
- Loss on sale of plant = Book value - Sale price = Rs. 134,000
Purchase of New Plant
- Cost of new plant = Rs. 458,000
- Cost of erection = Rs. 22,000
- Total cost of new plant = Rs. 480,000
Purchase of New Machine
- Cost of new machine = Rs. 560,000
Depreciation Calculation
- Depreciation rate = 15% per annum under the diminishing balance method
- Depreciation for the year ended 31st March 2021 = [(Book value of machinery on 1st April 2020 - Loss on sale of plant + Cost of new plant + Cost of new machine) x Depreciation rate]/12 months
- Book value of machinery on 1st April 2020 = Rs. 2,854,000 - Rs. 216,000 = Rs. 2,638,000
- Depreciation for the year ended 31st March 2021 = [(2,638,000 - 134,000 + 480,000 + 560,000) x 15%]/12 = Rs. 189,150
Explanation
- The balance of machinery account on 1st April 2020 is given as Rs. 2,854,000, out of which the book value of the plant sold on 1st July 2020 is Rs. 216,000.
- The sale price of the plant is given as Rs. 82,000, which results in a loss on sale of Rs. 134,000.
- A new plant was purchased for Rs. 458,000, and Rs. 22,000 was spent on its erection.
- A new machine was purchased for Rs. 560,000.
- The depreciation rate is given as 15% per annum under the diminishing balance method.
- The depreciation for the year ended 31st March 2021 is calculated by subtracting the loss on sale of plant from the book value of machinery on 1st April 2020 and adding the cost of new plant and new machine. This value is then multiplied by the depreciation rate and divided by 12 months.
- The depreciation for the year ended 31st March 2021 is calculated as Rs. 189,150.

M1 = 2,16,090
Dep = 216090 × 15% × 3/12 = 8103
M2 = 4,58,000 + 22,000
Dep = 480000 × 15% × 9/12 = 54,000
M3 = 5,60,000
Dep = 5,60,000 × 15% × 5/12 = 35,000
M4 = 28,54,000- 2,16,090
Dep = 26,37,910 × 15% = 3,95,686
Total depreciation = M1 + M2 + M3 + M4 =
4,92,789.
