Calculate depreciation using diminishing balance method

Solution

The solution is given below −

Total cost = cost of machinery + transportation + installation => 1500000 + 175000 + 75000 => Rs. 1750000/-

Depreciation rate = 12%

Calculations

Depreciation amount = opening balance * depreciation rate

Closing balance = opening balance – depreciation amount

For year 31-03-2015

Depreciation amount = 1750000 * 12% = 210000, closing balance = 1750000 – 210000 = 1540000

Similarly, Depreciation amount and closing balances are calculate for respective years

Ledger for above statements

Date	Particulars		Debit	Credit
1st year (2014-15)
01-04-2015	Machinery A/C	Dr.	1750000
	To bank			1750000
31- march	Depreciation A/c	Dr.	210000
	To machinery A/c			210000
	(depreciation charges)
31 – march	Profit/Loss A/c	Dr.	210000
	To depreciation A/c			210000

Similarly, for rest of years’ leger will be prepared (only depreciation amount will be changed)
