Rectification entries for fixed assets

Dear Friends,

One of my clients is facing a strange problem, He incorporated a manufacturing Company in the F/Y 2005-06, in which he incurred certain preoperative expenses, say Rs. 100000/-, (which, by mistake, included a machine valuing Rs. 30,000/-), and the same were subsequently loaded on Buildings and the plant and machinery procured till date of commencement of commercial production. Now after a span of 7 years i.e. in F/y 2013-14, they are selling this particular machine, valuing Rs. 30, 000/- ( being its net value excluding any element of preoperative cost ).

How can we effect this transaction in our books of accounts as well as in depreciation schedule.

 

Regards,

 

Krishna Srivastava

hi,

as per my views,

1st of all you should make calculation of depreciation of the said machine . then evaluate the net book value of said machine. after that to incorporate the machine in books dr machine account by corresponding crediting the building account. no need to credit plant and machinery account because part   of it is already debited while loading the preoperative expenses. and thereafter make corresponding entries for sale of asset. 

thank you,
