Working Notes:
1. Calculation of Profit or loss on sale of plant:
Original cost on 01.01.2015 = ₹ 80,000
Less: Depreciation for 2014.15. (3 months) = ₹ 2,000
W.D.V. on 01.04.2015 = ₹ 78,000
Less: Depreciation for 2015 -16 (12 months) = ₹ 7,800
W.D.V. on 01.04.2016 = ₹ 70,200
Less: Depreciation for 2016 -17 (9 months) = ₹ 5,265
W.D.V. on date of sale = ₹ 64,935
Less: Selling price = ₹ 60,000
∴ Loss on sale of plant = ₹ 4,935
2. Calculation of Depreciation for 2016-17:
(a) Opening balance on 01.04.2016 = ₹ 70,200
Less: W.D.V. of plant sold on 01.04.2016 = ₹ 70,200 Nil – 10% = Nil
(b) Purchase of plant on 01.04.2016 – 10% – 12months = ₹ 7,000
(c) Purchase of plant on 01.01.2017 – 10% – 3m months = ₹ 500
