Calculation of Profit or loss on sale of the truck:
| Date | Particulars | ₹ |
| 01.10.2014 | A truck purchased | 8,00,000 |
| 31.03.2015 | Less: Depreciation @ 15% for 6 months | 60,000 |
| 01.04.2015 | Book value | 7,40,000 |
| 31.03.2016 | Less: Depreciation @ 15% | 1,11,000 |
| 01.04.2016 | Book value | 6,29,000 |
| 31.03.2017 | Less: Depreciation @ 15% | 94,350 |
| 01.04.2017 | Book value | 5,34,650 |
Book value – selling price = Loss
5,34,650 – 5,00,000 = 34,650
