Short Answer Questions

Question 1.
Write the need or significance of depreciation.
Answer:
Need or significance or providing depreciation:
1. To ascertain true results of business operations: As depreciation is treated as expenditure, it must be charged to profit and loss account against income to assess the real profit/loss of the business.

2. To show the fixed asset at their original worth in the balance sheet: If depreciation is not provided, the value of the asset shown in the balance sheet is not correct. Hence, the real value of the asset must be shown in the balance sheet after deducting depre¬ciation from its book value.

Question 2.
Briefly explain different methods of providing depreciation.
Answer:
The various methods pf providing depreciation are given below:
1) Fixed Instalment method: Fixed instalment method is also called as equal instalment method or original cost method or straight-line method under this method depreciation is charged on the original cost of the asset every year. In this method annual depreciation is fixed or uniform.

2) Diminishing Balance method: Diminishing balance method is also called as written down value method (WDU) or reducing balance method under this method deprecia¬tion is calculated at a fixed percentage on the diminishing value of the asset.

3) Annuity method: This method takes into account the interest lost on the acqisition of an asset. Interest is calculated on the book value of the asset in the beginning of every year, and is debited to asset account. The amount of depreciation to be charged is uniform and is calculated on the basis of annuity tables.

4) Depreciaton fund method: This method provides funds for replacement of assets. The amount writtenoff as depreciation is kept aside and that amount is invested in certain securities. When the life of the asset expires, the securities are sold and a new asset is purchased with the help of sale proceeds. Depreciation amount is calculated with the help of Sinking Fund Tables.

5) Depletion method: Under this method total quantity of output likely to be available is estimated. Depreciation rate is calculated by dividing the cost of the asset by the esti-mated quantity of product likely to be available.
Suitability: It is used for mines and quarries.

6) Machine Hour Bate method: In this method the life of asset is estimated in hours. In order to calculate depreciation the actual number of hours in a particular year is multiplied by the hourly rate.
TS Inter 2nd Year Accountancy Study Material Chapter 1 Depreciation 1
Suitability: This method is Used for Machines.

Question 3.
Write the merits and demerits of straight-line method.
Answer:
Merits:

  1. This method is very easy to understand.
  2. It is very simple to calculating depreciation & rate of depreciation.
  3. Under this method, assets can be written off completely. That is upto zero, so the value of asset is equally spread out over the useful life of the asset.
  4. This method is suitable for small businesses.
  5. This method is useful to those assets having lower value and fixed life.

Demerits:

  1. The method is illogical, because, depreciation is charged on original cost every year, but to the balance of asset is declining every year.
  2. This method is not recognised by the income tax authorities.
  3. This method is not useful incase any additions and expansions made to assets.
  4. In put pressure on the asset in the slack years, in the end of the asset’s life, it bears more repairs and maintence charges but the depreciation charge is equal for all years.

Question 4.
What are the advantages and limitations of the diminishing balance method?
Answer:
Advantages:

  1. This method is easy to calculate depreciation when there are no additions to the asset.
  2. It equalises the burden on profit and loss account in respect of repairs and deprecia¬tion put together.
  3. This method is accepted by income tax authorities under the income tax Act 1961.
  4. This method is logical in the sence that as the asset value decreases the amount of depreciation also goes on decreasing.
  5. This method can be used where obsolescence rare is high.

Limitations:

  1. It is very difficult to determine the appropriate rate of depreciation.
  2. In this method the value of the asset cannot be reduced to zero. Some balance will be left at the end of its useful life.
  3. This method is not suitable for the assets which have shorter life.
  4. It does not provide for the replacement of the asset.

Question 5.
Distinguish between stright line method and diminishing balance method.
Answer:

Basis Fixed instalment Method Diminishing Balance Methods
Meaning A method of depreciation in which the cost of the asset is spread uniformly over the life years by writing off a fixed amount every year. A method of depreciatiion in which a fixed rate of depreciation is charged on the book value of the asset, over its useful life.
Calculation of Depreciation On the original cost of the asset. On the written-dOwn value of the asset
Annual
Depreciation
Charge
Remains fixed during the useful life of the asset. Reduces every year.
Value of Asset Completely written-off. Not completed written-off.
Impact on P&L A/c Increasing trend. Remains constant.
Recognition by income tax law It is not recognized by the Income Tax Department. It is recognized by the Income Tax Department.

Rate of Depreciation = 10%
TS Inter 2nd Year Accountancy Study Material Chapter 1 Depreciation 40

Note: For the calculation of depreciation, one must be careful about the following dates
(i) Date of purchase of asset,
(ii) Date of commencement of the year and
(iii) Date of closing of books.

Example: A machine is purchased on 1st April 2015 for Rs. 20,000. Depreciation is to be , provided th<; rate of 10% under straight line method. The machine was sold on 31st March 2019 for Rs. 9,000. Find out the profit or loss on sale of asset.
Cost of the Machine = 20,000
Depreciation rate = 10%

(a) Depreciation for the year 2015-2016 = 20,000 x 10/100 = Rs. 2,000
(b) Depreciation for the year 2016-2017 = 20,000 x 10/100 = Rs. 2,000
(c) Depreciation for the year 2017-2018 = 20,000 x 10/100 = t 2,000
(d) Depreciation for the year 2018-2019 = 20,000 x 10/100 = Rs. 2,000

Total Depreciation = Rs. 8,000
Book value of the asset on the date of sale:
= Cost – Total Depreciation (Accumulated Depreciation)
= 20,000 – (2,000 + 2,000 + 2,000 + 2,000) = 12,000

Loss on Sale of Asset:
= Book value – Selling price of the machine = 12,000 – 9,000 = 3,000.

Rate of Depreciation = 15%
Depreciation (31-12-2017 to 31-03-2018) on 1st Machine = 20,000 x 15/100 x 3/12 = Rs. 750
Depreciation on 1st Machine (01-04-2018 to 31-03-2019) = 20,000 x 15/100 = Rs. 3,000

Depreciation on 2nd Machine from 1st April, 2019 to 31st March 2020
= 10,000 x 15/100 = Rs. 1,500

Profit on Sale of Machine:
Cost of the Machine sold = Rs. 20,000
Accumulated Depreciation = (31st Dec. 2017 to 31st March 2020)
= 750 + 3,000 + 3,000 = 6,750
Book value of Machine = Rs. 20,000 – Rs. 6,750 = Rs. 13,250

TS Inter 2nd Year Accountancy Study Material Chapter 1 Depreciation 56
Working Note:
Cost of the asset = Purchase price 4- Carriage + Installation charges
= Rs. 28,000 + Rs. 1,000 + Rs. 1,000 = Rs. 30,000

1. Depreciation on 31st March, 2018 = 30,000 x 15/100 x 9/2 = Rs. 3,375 (July 1st 2017 to 31st March 2018 = 9 months)
Write down value on 31st March 2018 = Rs. 30,000 – Rs. 3,375 = Rs. 26,625
2. Depreciation on 31st March 2019 = 26,625 x 15/100 = Rs. 3,994
Written down value on 31st March 2019 = Rs. 26,625 – Rs. 3,394 = Rs. 22,631
3. Depreciation on 31st March 2020 = Rs. 22.631 x 15/100 = Rs. 3,395

Answer:
TS Inter 2nd Year Accountancy Study Material Chapter 1 Depreciation 59
Cost of the Machine = Rs. 90,000 + Rs. 10,000 = Rs. 1,00,000
a) Depreciation on 31st March 2017 = 1,00,000 x 20/100 = Rs. 20,000
Written down value on 31st March 2017 = Rs. 1,00,000 – Rs. 20,000 = Rs. 80,000

b) Depreciation on 31 * March, 2018 = 80,000 x 20/100 = Rs. 16,000
Written down value on 31st March 2018 = Rs. 80,000 – Rs. 16,000 = Rs. 64,000

c) Depreciation on 31st March, 2019 = 64,000 x 20/100 = Rs. 12,800
Written down value on 31st March 2019 = Rs. 64,000 – Rs. 12,800 = Rs. 51,200
