Hi, Steps to find Depreciation rates under WDV method, with the given depreciation rate under SLM and life of the asset. (i) Take Depreciation Rate under SLM (ii) Multiply with life of asset (iii) Divide by 100 (iv) Deduct from 1 (v) Find the root of step (iv) to the power of step (ii). (Here the power is the given life of asset) (vi) Deduct the above found result from 1 (vii) Multiply the above with 100 (viii) The result is the Depreciation Rate under WDV Method. In ur case - Cost = 10 L - RV = 2.5 L - Life = 10 Y Steps = SLM Rate is (10-2.5)/10*100 = 7.5% 7.5*10 = 75 75/100 = .75 1-.75 = .25 root of .25 to the power of 10 (life) = .87055 1-.87055 = .12945 .12945*100 = 12.945% (WDV Rate) Every subsequent yr.'s depreciation will be (100-12.945)% of the preceeding year's depreciation. In this ex. 2nd yr. depn. is 112693 and 1st yr. depn. is 129450. (i.e) 112693/129450*100 = 87.055 which is nothing but (100-WDV rate). Reducing portion is WDV rate between intermediate depreciations.

In ur case - Cost = 10 L
- RV = 2.5 L
- Life = 10 Y

Steps =

SLM Rate is (10-2.5)/10*100 = 7.5%
7.5*10 = 75
75/100 = .75
1-.75 = .25
root of .25 to the power of 10 (life) = .87055
1-.87055 = .12945
.12945*100 = 12.945% (WDV Rate)

Every subsequent yr.'s depreciation will be (100-12.945)% of the preceeding year's depreciation. In this ex. 2nd yr. depn. is 112693 and 1st yr. depn. is 129450.

Bank A/c                 Dr.
Advance Tax  A/c   Dr.

if you were supposed to recieve 1000 and debtor has paid 8000 after deducting 200 TDS then:

Bank Dr. 8000

Tax payable - nature of expense Dr 2000

Debtor Cr. 10000
