I have a query regarding the new method of Calulation of Depreciation based on useful life. My query is-
If we have a Business having three Busines Process. And we purchased a Machine only for Process 1 on 1/4/2005 and remaining processes are outsourced. But later on, on 1-04-2010, we also purchased Machines for 2nd and 3rd Process and Combined all the three Machines as a Single Plant. Now How the Rate of Depreciation Will be calculated???? Whether Separately on each machine or on the combined plant as a whole?? IF on the combined Plant as a whole, then How??

Remaining useful life should be determined machinery wise and may be depreciated accordingly, though 'component accounting' becomes mandatory from 1-4-2015.
