04 July 2007 Hi,

If one calculate depreciation under the Written Down Value(WDV) Method, irrespective of rate of depreciation, the asset value(i.e. Net Block) can not be negative. At best the Net Block will get reduced to zero. The question of scraping etc. of the assets does not arise in this case.

The depreciation rate is to be applied on the amount of Net Block as on the beginning of the year, subject how ever to addition/delation of assets during the year.

You are requested to re check your calculation.

04 July 2007 Hope, the question stands resolved.
