As per Section 32, where a firm is succeeded by a company, then the depreciation for the year shall be apportioned in the ratio of the number of days for which the assets were used by them.
Accordingly depreciation for the whole year shall be computed and thereafter the same shall be apportioned as under:
Firm - 1.4.11 to 16.2.12 Company - 17.2.12 to 31.3.12
