Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies how to claim depreciation on a mobile phone purchase. The consensus is to record the asset at the full bill value (Rs 9000 in this case), even if a lesser amount (Rs 8500) was actually paid. The difference can be accounted for as a discount or miscellaneous income. Additionally, a separate query explores depreciation calculation methods for a private limited company, specifically whether to use actual days of use or a fixed monthly amount for Straight Line Method depreciation.
We are in Automobile components Manufacturing Industry. We need to know that Straight Line Method Depreciation calculations taking by actual used days (ex. 28 days for Feb, 31 Daya for March & 30 days for April) instead of fixing monthly equal value. Shall we follow this? Is there any provisions/notifications/restrictions for this?
Further, we need to know minimum how much amount can we consider to account as a Fixed Asset?
Our company is Pvt Ltd. What am exactly want to know that SLM Depn calculations to be accounted for actual used days instead of monthly fixed equal Depn cost. What is ur opinion? Most of the companies are usually following which calculations (actual used days or monthly fixed equal Depn cost)?
@ Naveen Kumar I presume you bought Mobile in cash . No problem you book bill Value 9000/-.
Even if you have paid 8500/- , in books you have to consider 9000/- only.
Now take the side of situation... What will you book if bill is 9000/- but you paid 10000/- ? Obviously 9000/- or you will return old bill and ask for a new bill of 10000/- .
