Working Notes:
1. Calculation of Profit or loss on sale of furniture:
Original cost on 01.04.2014 = ₹ 20,000
Less: Depreciation for 2014-15 (12 months) = ₹ 2,000
W.D.V. on 01.04.2015 = ₹ 18,000
Less: Depreciation for 2015-16 = ₹ 900
W.D.V. on date of sale = ₹ 17,100
Less: Selling price = ₹ 15,000
∴ Loss on sale of furniture = ₹ 2,100
2. Calculation of Depreciation for 2016 -17:
(a) Opening balance on 01.04.2015 = ₹ 27,500
Less: W.D.V. of furniture sold on 01.04.2015 = ₹ 18,000
9,500 – 10% = ₹ 950
(b) Purchase of furniture on 01.10.2015 – 10% – 6months = 950 + 1,000 = ₹ 1,950
