As per Notes appended to the Rates of Depreciation under the Companies Act as mentioned in Schedule XIV---

“4. Where, during any financial year, any addition has been made to any asset… the depreciation on such assets shall be calculated on a pro rata basis from the date of such addition…”.

“8…depreciation on assets, whose actual cost does not exceed five thousand rupees, shall be provided at the rate of hundred per cent”

Please advise whether, in case of buying a Cell Phone costing Rs 3000 in Jan, we should charge off in Accounts towards Depreciation in the year of acquisition

(a) Rs 3000 (entire cost being less than Rs 5000) as per Note 8; or

(b) Rs 756 (3000x100/100x91/365) only as per Note 4

If we charge off Rs 756 only in the year of acquisition and carry forward the balance to next year and go on calculating Depreciation at normal rate, it will lead to finding petty amounts in Assets Register

Hi,
Can anyone tell me whether to capitalise interest on specific loan amount taken to purchase a vehicle if the order was placed with the dealer and the car was not delivered for two months.
Amount of the vehicle was already paid to the dealer.
Interest was regularly paid to the bank.
Will this asset be called as a qualifying asset under AS16.
Reply ASAP.

Dear friends..

My query is very simple regarding capitalization of certain expenditure. While purchasing a machine, i.e., import of a machinery, do we capitalize the customs duty paid for it?? All the other expenses related to the installation, etc are capitalized but what about the customs duty paid? is it to be treated as an expense or should it be capitalized?

Waiting for a reply...asap..
