Mrs.B can't claim depreciation & intt. It is generally loan given by Mrs.B to Mr.B.

Accounting entry will be

Mr.B
To Bank

Depreciation cannot be claimed by Mrs. B, since the loan is taken in the name of Mr. A. So, the owner of the asset shall be Mr. A and depreciation shall be claimed by him.

The accounting entry to be passed by Mrs. B for paying the instalment is:

Mr. A a/c Dr

To Bank a/c Cr.

 

 

Depreciation calculated on Fixed Asset.

If the car is fixed asset of Mr. A. then B can't take the deduction benefit of Depreciation. that means Mr. B can't declare this car as fixed asset.

In the book of Mr. B the Accounting entry Should Be:- 

Mr. A .... Dr. (Current Asset)

 To Bank / Cash...........

(Being unsecure car loan given to Mr. A)

Sorry its

Mr.A
To Bank
sell car to Mrs B and transfer loan also to Mrs B

then only you can claim depreciation
