Part Disposal under SLM

Example 1:

A machine cost ₹1,00,000, 5-year life. After 2 years, a major part of the machine (worth carrying value ₹10,000) is sold for ₹12,000. Show how disposal is recorded & new carrying for the rest.

Solution

  • Suppose 2-year depreciation done. Let’s assume each year ₹20k (no salvage). So after 2 yrs total depreciation = 40k, carrying 60k.
  • If a portion (cost-proportion) had a carrying of ₹10k, sold @12k => 2k profit.
  • Remaining machine CV = 60k – 10k = 50k.
    (Exact approach depends on how we track partial disposal cost, but conceptually: 10k out, 12k realized, 2k gain.)

Table (simplistic):

Particulars

Amount (₹)

Original CV after 2 yrs

60,000

Part disposed CV

10,000

Sale proceeds of part

12,000

Profit on disposal

2,000

Balance machine CV

50,000

Hinglish Explanation:

  • Total machine ke 2 saal ke baad 60k value bachi. Usme se 10k wala part bech diya 12k me, 2k profit. Bachi hui machine ab 50k value par continue hogi.

Disposal Under Written Down Value

Example 2:

A car cost ₹5,00,000. Dep. rate 25% WDV. After 2 years, it is sold for ₹2,40,000. Find the profit or loss on sale.

Solution

1. Year 1 dep = 5,00,000 × 25% = 1,25,000 → closing 3,75,000.

2. Year 2 dep = 3,75,000 × 25% = 93,750 → closing 2,81,250.

3. Sold @2,40,000 => compare with 2,81,250.

Loss = 2,81,250 – 2,40,000 = ₹41,250.

Sold @2,40,000
=> Loss 41,250

Hinglish Explanation:

  • 2 saal ke baad WDV 2,81,250 aata hai. Par hum sale 2,40,000 pe kar rahe hai, toh humari loss 41,250.

Depreciation + Revaluation

Example 3:

Building cost ₹10,00,000, SLM 10% (life 10 years?). After 2 years, it’s revalued to ₹9,00,000. Show new depreciation if the remaining life is still 8 years.

Solution

1. 2 years done, old annual dep = 10,00,000 ÷ 10 = 1,00,000. So 2,00,000 total used. CV = 8,00,000.

2. Revalued to 9,00,000 => +1,00,000 adjustment.

3. Now new base = 9,00,000, life 8 years left. New annual dep = 9,00,000 ÷ 8 = ₹1,12,500.

Table:

Period

Calculation

Value

1–2 yrs

Dep = 1L each year, total 2L → CV = 8L

8,00,000

Revalue

Increase to 9L → +1L revaluation

9,00,000

Next 8 yrs

9,00,000 ÷ 8 = 1,12,500/year

–

Hinglish Explanation:

  • Revaluation badha di building ki CV from 8L to 9L. Ab hum 9L ko 8 saalon me write off karenge, ₹1,12,500 har saal.

IFRS Approach to Partial Year (Month-Wise)

Example 4:

A machine is bought on 1st Aug for ₹6,00,000, salvage 60,000, 5-year life (SLM). Assume monthly basis. Year ends 31st Dec. Calculate depreciation for the first year.

Solution

1. Full-year dep = (6,00,000 – 60,000) / 5 = 5,40,000 / 5 = 1,08,000.

2. Monthly = 1,08,000 ÷ 12 = ₹9,000 per month.

3. From 1st Aug to 31st Dec = 5 months (Aug, Sep, Oct, Nov, Dec).

4. 5 months × 9,000 = ₹45,000.

Table:

Hinglish Explanation:

  • Humne monthly approach liya, har mahine 9k. 5 mahine hue, total 45k.

Mid-year Addition + Full-year Use

Example 5:

Policy: if purchased on or before 15th of any month, full month’s depreciation is charged. A machine is bought on 10th Sept for ₹1,20,000, SLM 20% p.a. The year ends on 31st Dec. Compute depreciation for that year.

Solution :

1. Annual depreciation @20% of 1,20,000 = ₹24,000.

2. Period from 10th Sept → 31st Dec is 3.7 months, but policy says if purchased before 15th, we count full month for Sept. So effectively 4 months.

3. 4/12 of annual = 24,000 × (4/12) = ₹8,000.

Dep for current year

24,000 × 4/12

8,000

Hinglish Explanation:

  • Because firm’s policy says “purchase date before 15th → full month count,” humne 4 months liye. So 8k depreciation for that period.

High Rate for First Year, then Normal SLM

Example 6:

A machine is purchased for ₹2,00,000. The company charges 30% depreciation in the first year (to account for installation), then normal SLM for the remaining 4 years. No salvage. Show the schedule.

Solution:

1. 1st year: 2,00,000 × 30% = 60,000 → carrying 1,40,000.

2. Remaining 4 years: total cost left = 1,40,000. SLM over 4 yrs = 1,40,000/4 = 35,000 each.

Depreciation for Intangible Asset

Example 7:

Purchased a patent for ₹1,00,000, no salvage, life 5 years. Compute annual depreciation (amortisation) on straight line.

Solution:

  • This is basically intangible asset, par principle same.
  • (1,00,000 – 0) ÷ 5 = ₹20,000 each year.

Hinglish Explanation:

Machinery Impairment plus Depreciation

Example 8:

A machine cost ₹3,00,000, life 5 years SLM, no salvage. After 2 years, due to damage, it’s impaired to ₹1,00,000. The firm still plans to use it for 3 more years. Show the new depreciation from year 3.

Solution

1. Original annual = 3,00,000 ÷ 5 = 60,000. So 2 years total 1,20,000. CV = 1,80,000.

2. Impairment → reduce to 1,00,000. So we record loss 80,000.

3. Remaining life 3 yrs.

4. New depreciation = 1,00,000 ÷ 3 = 33,333 approx.

Hinglish Explanation:

  • 2 saal ke baad machine ki value 1,80,000 thi, par impairment se 1,00,000 ho gayi. Bache 3 saal me 1,00,000 spread kar rahe hain: 33.3k each.

Sum-of-the-Years’-Digits with Salvage

Example 9:

An asset cost ₹3,00,000, salvage ₹30,000, life 3 years. Use SYD. Compute depreciation each year.

Solution

  • Depreciable = 3,00,000 – 30,000 = 2,70,000.
  • SYD for 3 yrs = 1+2+3 = 6.
  • Year 1: fraction 3/6 → 2,70,000 × 3/6 = 1,35,000
  • Year 2: fraction 2/6 → 2,70,000 × 2/6 = 90,000
  • Year 3: fraction 1/6 → 2,70,000 × 1/6 = 45,000

Table:

30,000 (salvage)

Hinglish Explanation:

  • Bas same SYD formula, par salvage minus karke hamper kar diya. End me 30k salvage bachta hai.

Double Declining Balance (No Salvage)

Example 10:

An asset costs ₹2,00,000, life 5 years. Using Double-Declining method (twice the SLM rate). SLM rate would be 20% (1/5). So DDB = 40%. Compute depreciation for first 3 years.

Solution

  • DDB rate = 40% on opening WDV.

1. Year 1: 2,00,000 × 40% = 80,000 → closing 1,20,000.

2. Year 2: 1,20,000 × 40% = 48,000 → closing 72,000.

3. Year 3: 72,000 × 40% = 28,800 → closing 43,200.
(It continues in years 4 & 5 until maybe final is 0 or small leftover. Some adopt a shift to SLM in the last year to salvage 0.)

Hinglish Explanation:

  • Double Declining = 2 × (1/5) = 40%. Har saal WDV pe 40%.
  • Pehle saal sabse zyada depreciation, phir kam hota jayega.

Final Hinglish Recap

1. Straight Line (SLM) = (Cost – Salvage) / Life → same depreciation har saal.

2. Written Down Value (Reducing Balance) = har saal opening book value × rate.

3. Sum-of-the-Years’-Digits = fraction (remaining life / sum of years) × (Cost – Salvage).

4. Units-of-Production = (Cost – Salvage) / total units × actual units.

5. Partial year → proportionate months or firm’s policy (like half-year convention).

6. If estimates change (life, salvage), next years me revised approach se depreciation nikalte hain (prospectively).

7. Impairment reduces carrying value forcibly if asset is damaged or market falls.

8. DDB (Double-Declining) = 2 × SLM rate on opening WDV.
