Original cost on 01.01.2015 = ₹ 50,000

Less: Depreciation for 2014-15 (3 months) = ₹ 1,250

W.D.V. on 01-04-2015 = ₹ 48,750

Less: Depreciation for 2015-16 (12 months) = ₹ 5,000

W.D.V. on 01-04-2016 = ₹ 43,750

Less: Depreciation for 2016-17 (3 months) = ₹ 1,250

W.D.V. on date of sale = ₹ 42,500

Less: Selling price = ₹ 40,000

∴ Loss on sale of machine = ₹ 2,500
