Q.1 Calculate the Amount of annual Depreciation and Rate of Depreciation under Straight Line Method 
(SLM) from the following: 
Purchased a second-hand machine for ? 96,000, spent ? 24,000 on its cartage, repairs and installation, 
estimated useful life of machine 4 years. Estimated residual value ? 72,000. 
 
The solution can be presented as follows 
Annual Depreciation = (Cost of Machine -Scrap Value of Machine) / Life in Years                                        
= (1,20,000 - 72,000) / 4  
= 48000 / 4 
= ? 12,000 
Rate of Depreciation = (Amount of Depreciation / Cost of Machine) ×100                                  
= (12,000/1,20,000) ×100 
=10% 
 
Q.2 On 1st April, 2019, X Ltd. purchased a machine costing ? 4,00,000 and spent ? 50,000 on its 
installation. The estimated life of the machinery is 10 years, after which its residual value will be ? 50,000 
only. Find the amount of annual depreciation according to the Fixed Instalment Method and prepare

The solution can be presented as follows 
 
 
 
 
Working Notes: 
We know that 
Annual Depreciation = (Cost of Asset -Scrap Value of Asset) / Life in Years       
Now for Furniture 1  
Annual Depreciation = (55000 – 5000) / 10  
                                 = 50000 / 10 
                                 = 5000 
Furniture 2 
Annual Depreciation = (9500 – 500) / 10 
                                 = 9000 / 10 
                                 = 900 
Furniture 3 
Annual Depreciation = (8400 – 400) / 10 
                                  = 8000 / 10 
                                   = 800 
As furniture was purchased 6 months into the accounting hence depreciation for 6 months will be half therefore it 
will be 400.

FAQs on Depreciation - 1 - Accountancy Class 11 - Commerce

1. What is depreciation, and why is it important in commerce?
Ans.Depreciation refers to the reduction in the value of an asset over time due to wear and tear, usage, or obsolescence. It is crucial in commerce as it helps businesses accurately represent the value of their assets on financial statements, affects tax calculations, and assists in budgeting for replacement of assets.
2. What are the different methods of calculating depreciation?
Ans.The most common methods of calculating depreciation include straight-line depreciation, which spreads the cost evenly over the asset's useful life; declining balance depreciation, which finds a higher expense in the earlier years; and units of production depreciation, which ties the expense to the actual usage of the asset. Each method serves different financial strategies and asset types.
3. How does depreciation affect a business's financial statements?
Ans.Depreciation impacts a business's financial statements by reducing the book value of assets on the balance sheet and decreasing net income on the income statement. This can influence financial ratios, tax liabilities, and investment decisions, providing a more realistic view of the business's financial health.
4. Is depreciation a non-cash expense, and what does that mean?
Ans.Yes, depreciation is considered a non-cash expense because it does not involve an actual cash outflow during the accounting period. Instead, it reflects the allocation of an asset's cost over time, allowing businesses to account for the wearing out of assets while managing cash flow effectively.
5. What role does depreciation play in tax calculations?
Ans.Depreciation plays a significant role in tax calculations as it allows businesses to deduct the depreciation expense from their taxable income. This reduction in taxable income can lead to lower tax liabilities, making it an important consideration for financial planning and tax strategy.
