Machinery Account for 4 years - Accounting Year ending on 31st December
Introduction:
In this scenario, we have a firm called M/s Das and Company that purchases machinery at different points in time. The firm follows the straight-line method of depreciation, where the machinery is depreciated at a rate of 10% per year. We need to create a machinery account for 4 years, with the accounting year ending on 31st December each year.
Year 1: 1st January 2014 to 31st December 2014
- Opening balance: Nil (Assuming no machinery was present before the first purchase)
- Purchases:
- 1st January 2014: Machine purchased for Rs. 40,000
- Depreciation for the year: Rs. 4,000 (10% of Rs. 40,000)
- Closing balance: Rs. 36,000 (Rs. 40,000 - Rs. 4,000)
Year 2: 1st January 2015 to 31st December 2015
- Opening balance: Rs. 36,000 (Closing balance of the previous year)
- Purchases: Nil (No additional machinery purchased)
- Depreciation for the year: Rs. 3,600 (10% of Rs. 36,000)
- Closing balance: Rs. 32,400 (Rs. 36,000 - Rs. 3,600)
Year 3: 1st January 2016 to 31st December 2016
- Opening balance: Rs. 32,400 (Closing balance of the previous year)
- Purchases:
- 1st July 2016: Machine purchased for Rs. 20,000
- Depreciation for the year: Rs. 5,640 (10% of Rs. 52,400)
- Closing balance: Rs. 46,760 (Rs. 52,400 - Rs. 5,640)
Year 4: 1st January 2017 to 31st December 2017
- Opening balance: Rs. 46,760 (Closing balance of the previous year)
- Purchases:
- 1st January 2017: Machine purchased for Rs. 10,000
- Depreciation for the year: Rs. 5,676 (10% of Rs. 56,760)
- Closing balance: Rs. 51,084 (Rs. 56,760 - Rs. 5,676)
Summary:
- The machinery account for 4 years shows the opening balance, purchases, depreciation, and closing balance for each year.
- The machinery account is updated each year based on the purchases made and the depreciation calculated using the straight-line method.
- The opening balance of each year is the closing balance of the previous year.
- The closing balance of each year is the opening balance minus the depreciation for that year.
Note:
- The figures used in this example are for illustrative purposes only and may not reflect actual values.
- The format and presentation of the machinery account may vary depending on the accounting standards and practices followed by the firm.
