Working Notes:

1. `"Calculation of Depreciation per annum:
Depreciation" = "Original cost of an asset (−) Scrapvalue"/ "Estimated life of asset in years"`

=  `"1,80,000 − 30,000"/10`

=  `"1,50,000"/10`

=  ₹ 15,000 p.a.

2.  Calculation of Profit or loss on sale of machine:

Original cost 01.01.2017 = ₹ 1,80,000

Less: Depreciation for 2016-17 (3 months) = ₹ 3,750

W.D.V. on 01-04-2017 = ₹ 1,76,250

Less: Depreciation for 2019-18 (12 months) = ₹ 15,000

W.D.V. on 01.04.2018 = ₹ 1,61,250

Less: Depreciation for 2018-19 (6 months) = ₹ 7,500

W.D.V. on date of sale = ₹ 1,53,750

Less: Selling price = ₹ 1,50,000

∴ Loss on sale of machine = ₹ 3,750
