  2. Prepare Machine account, Depreciation account and Provision for depreciation account (or accumulated depreciation account) for the first four years by providing depreciation using straight line method. Accounts are closed on March 31st every year.

Working Notes:
Cost of Asset
= 2,80,000 + 10,000 + 10,000
= 3,00,000
We have,

Yearly Depreciation =
Cost of asset – Estimated Residential value
Estimated useful life of the asset
=
3,00,000 – 20,000
10
=
2,80,000
10
=
28,000

2. On July 01, 2010, Ashok Ltd. purchased a machine for ₹ 1,08,000 and spent ₹ 12,000 on its installation. At the time of purchase it was estimated that the effective commercial life of the machine will be 12 years and after 12 years its salvage value will be ₹ 12,000.
Prapare machine account and depreciation Account in the books of Ashok Ltd. For first three years, if depreciation is written off according to straight line method.
Cost of machine =
1,08,000 + 12,000
=
1,20,000
We have,

Yearly Depreciation =
Cost of asset – Estimated Residential value
Estimated useful life of the asset
=
1,20,000 – 12,000
12
=
1,08,000
12
=
9,000

3. Reliance Ltd. purchased a second hand machine for ₹ 56,000 on October 01, 2011 and spent ₹ 28,000 on its overhaul and installation before putting it to operation. It is expected that the machine can be sold for ₹ 6,000 at the end of its useful life of 15 years. Moreover an estimated cost of ₹ 1,000 is expected to be incurred to recover the salvage value of ₹ 6,000. Prepare machine account and Provision for depreciation account for the first three years charging depreciation by fixed installment method. Accounts are closed on December 31, every year.

Net Residual value =
Sale value – Expenses incurred for the disposal of the asset
=
6,000 – 1,000
=

5,000

Cost of asset =
56,000 + 28,000
=
84,000
Yearly Depreciation =
Cost of asset – Estimated Residential Value
Estimated useful life of the asset
=
84,000 – 5,000
15
=
79,000
15
=
5,267
