14 July 2015 Dear no need to provide depreciation.

Let the asset appear in the books value Rs.12000/- only.

As residual value can be maximum 5% of the original cost. Value less than 5% can also be taken.

14 July 2015 Dear when the asset life is over u have to see whether the asset is still used or not .
if asset is no longer in use then adjust the sale value of asset with residual value.
and if asset is not capable of being sold the transfer the amount to general reserves.
