Companies act Depreciation : if one asset is taken in between of the year lets say in july, 2015 & useful life is 10 years and purchase amount is 1,00,000 then how to allocate useful life of 9 years & 3 months.? (Confusion is that in FY 15-16, only 9 months is considered)

Depreciation is 12,000 per say, then monthly depreciation for three months= 12000*3/12= 3000₹. It is possible that such a scenario occurs that a firm depreciates its asset at full or partial amount. Here, if depreciation is SLM, then

1 year= 10000*9/12= 7500

2 year= 10000*12/12=10000

10 year= 10000*12/12=10000

Accumulated Depreciation= 97500₹

No.

Year 1 closing balance of PPE= 100000-7500 depreciation

In year 2, the first year closing balance becomes second year’s opening balance. Similarly, ninth year’s closing balance of PPE becomes opening balance of tenth year. By the tenth year, the residual value of the asset is 100000-97500=2500₹. This is also known as scrap value. There is no 11th year because the useful life of asset is ten years only.
