    Depreciation is an accounting method that is used to write off the cost of an asset. The company must record depreciation in the profit and loss account. It is done so that the cost of an asset can be realised over the years rather than one single year.

    Furniture is an important asset for a business. As per the Income Tax Act, the rate of depreciation for furniture and fittings is 10%. However, for accounting purposes, the company is free to set its own rate.

    JOURNAL ENTRY

    Journal entry for depreciation of furniture is:

    Here, depreciation is debited since it is an expense and as per the rules of accounting, “increase in expenses are debited”. Furniture is credited because a “ decrease in assets is credited”, and the value of furniture is reducing.

    TYPES OF DEPRECIATION

    Furniture can be depreciated in any of the following ways:

    • Straight-Line Method – It is calculated by finding the difference between the cost of the asset and its expected salvage value, and the result is divided by the number of years the asset is expected to be used.
    • Diminishing Value Method – It is calculated by charging a fixed percentage on the book value of the asset. Since the book value keeps on reducing, it is called the diminishing value method.
    • Units of Production

    For accounting purposes, the two many methods used for depreciating furniture is the straight-line method and the diminishing value method. However, for tax purposes, they are combined into a block of furniture, where the purchase of new furniture is added and the sale of furniture is subtracted and the resulting amount is depreciated by 10% based on the written downvalue method.

    EXAMPLE

    If a company buys furniture worth Rs 30,000 and charges depreciation of 10%, then by straight-line method, Rs 3,000 would be depreciated every year for 10 years.

    Now if the company decided to use the diminishing value method (or written down value method), then Rs 3,000 (30,000 x 10%) would be depreciated in the first year, and in the second year, the book value of the furniture would be Rs 27,000 (30,000-3,000). Hence depreciation for the second year would be Rs 2,700 (27,000 x 10%) and so on.

    The rate of depreciation on a car as per the Income Tax Act depends upon the purpose for which it has been purchased and the year on which it was acquired.

    As per the Income Tax Act, cars come under the Plant and Machinery block of assets.

    The Act classifies cars into two categories,

    • Group 1 – Motor cars other than those used in the business of running them on hire.
    • Group 2 – Motor taxis used in the business of running them on hire.

     

    Group 1:

    1. If the motor car is acquired and put to use on or after 23rd August 2019 but before 1st April 2020, then the rate applicable is 30%.
    2. If the motor car is acquired and put to use on or after 1st April 1990, then the rate applicable is 15%. (All the cars which are not covered under the category (1) comes under this category.)

     

    Group 2:

    1. If the motor taxi is acquired and put to use on or after 23rd August 2019 but before 1st April 2020, then the rate applicable is 45%.
    2. The rate applicable for motor taxis not covered under category (1) is 30%.

     

    Here is a summarised version of the rates applicable to cars,

     

    The rates can also be found on the Income Tax India website.

Depreciation is referred to as the reduction in the cost of a fixed asset in sequential order, due to wear and tear until the asset becomes obsolete. Following are some of ...

  2. Astha Leader Pursuing CA, BCom (Hons.)

    The main objective of depreciation is to calculate net profit. Depreciation is an expense allowed on the fixed assets of an entity to provide for the cost of benefit utilized by the entity in that particular year. Since the such assets are used for more than one financial year, profits for the furthRead more

    1. The main objective of depreciation is to calculate net profit.

    Depreciation is an expense allowed on the fixed assets of an entity to provide for the cost of benefit utilized by the entity in that particular year. Since the such assets are used for more than one financial year, profits for the further years would be misstated if such depreciation expense is not provided for.

    Further, depreciation in no way shows previous profits or satisfies the tax department and a reduction in tax is secondary since it will only be allowed if charged in the profit & loss account. Thus, B is the correct answer.

    2. Depreciation is generated due to wear and tear.

    Depreciation is provided for to compensate for the wear and tear of the asset while being used by the entity. Depreciation is not generated due to increase in the value of liability, decrease in capital or decrease in the value of assets. Rather the vice versa is true, that is an increase in liability, decrease in capital and decrease in asset is created due to depreciation.

    Thus, C is the correct answer.

    3. The purpose of making a provision for depreciation in the accounts is to charge the cost of fixed assets against profits.

    Fixed assets are long term assets with useful life of more than one accounting year and therefore the full cost of such assets are not provided for in the year of purchase rather a fixed portion is charged every year in the profit and loss account.

    Thus, A is correct and others are incorrect.

    4. According to the straight line method of depreciation, the depreciation remains constant.

    In the straight line method of depreciation, depreciation is calculated on the historical or purchase cost of the asset and the same amount is charged every year till the useful value of the asset, thus depreciation remains constant.

    Also, depreciation decreases each year in case of written down value method but depreciation can never increase. Thus, A is the correct answer.

    5. Total amount of depreciation of an asset cannot exceed its depreciable value.

    The depreciable value is the purchase cost of the asset less the scrap value. The total amount of depreciation can never exceed the depreciable value since depreciation is allowed on an asset till its useful life at a certain percentage. Even when the value of the asset becomes nil, no further depreciation would be charged and total depreciation would be equal to depreciable value but obviously cannot be more.

    Thus, A is the correct answer and other are wrong.

    6. According to fixed installment method, the depreciation is calculated on original cost.

    In the fixed installment method, also known as the straight line method, depreciation is calculated on the basis of the original or purchase cost of the asset using the formula-

    Depreciation = (Original cost – Scrap value)/Useful life of asset

    Thus, B is the correct answer.

    7. Salvage value means estimated disposal value.

    Salvage value is the value of the asset that can be realized by the entity on its sale after the useful life of the asset has been exhausted and is now obsolete for the entity.

    Salvage value is not definite but an estimation. Salvage value can be positive or nil but not negative. Thus, D is the correct option.

    8. Depreciation is calculated under diminishing balance method, based on book value.

    Under the diminishing value method, the depreciation is calculated at a certain percentage of the book value of the asset which is calculated after providing for depreciation in the previous year.

    Depreciation cannot be calculated on scrap value since it is the disposable value of the asset and depreciation on original value is calculated under straight line method. Thus, B is the correct option.

    9. Depreciation amount charged on a machinery will be debited to depreciation account.

    Depreciation is an expense and depreciation account will be debited since depreciation is a nominal account, as per traditional method, and all expenses are debited. Also, as per modern rules of accounting, increase in expenses are debited.

    When depreciation is charged there is a decrease in the value of assets therefore machinery account will be credit also depreciation cannot be classified under repair account or cash account heads. Thus, C is the correct option.

    10. In accounting, becoming out of date or obsolete is known as obsolescence.

    Amortization means decrease in the value of intangible assets of an entity. Depletion means exhaustion  of existing wasting assets such as coal mines. Physical deterioration means fall in value of asset due to physical damage to the asset. Therefore, the correct answer is Obsolescence.

    Depreciation refers to that portion of the value of an asset that a company uses in an accounting year to generate revenue. Assets are written off in form of depreciation over time also called the useful life of the asset. It denotes the wear and tear of an asset over time.

    Suppose, a company named Johnson ltd. purchases machinery for 50,000 that has a useful life of 5 years with nil salvage value. Then the yearly depreciation to be charged can be calculated as:

    Depreciation calculation with formula

    Is Depreciation a Cash Flow?

    Cash flows are inflows and outflows of cash and cash equivalents in an entity. The payments made by the entity denote the outflows whereas the revenues or incomes of the entity denote the inflows. Talking about cash flows, depreciation is a non-cash item of expense which means it neither results in inflow nor outflow of cash resources.

    In the adjacent Profit and Loss statement, a cash payment of 7,000 for electricity implies outflow of cash however, depreciation of 10,000 is merely an imputed cost to write off an asset or we can say, a part of profits set aside each year so that there are sufficient funds available to procure a new asset after the currently available asset is discarded.

    showing depreciation in profit and loss account

    However, cash flow statements are affected by depreciation. Depreciation is added back to the net profits while calculating cash flows from operating expenses since it is a non-cash item and has been deducted while calculating net profits in the profit and loss statement.

    Depreciation shown in cash flow statement

    Depreciation does not directly impact the amount of cash generated or expended by a business but it is tax-deductible and will reduce the cash outflows related to income taxes. Thus, depreciation affects cash flow by reducing the amount of cash a business has to pay for income taxes.

    The Furniture and Fixture is depreciated @10% according to the income tax act and as per the companies act, 2013 @9.50% under Straight line method and @25.89% under written down value method.

    Furniture and fixture form a major part to furnish an office. For Example, the chair, table, bookshelves, etc. all comes under Furniture and Fixture. The useful life of Furniture and Fixtures is estimated as 5-10 years depending upon the kind of furniture.

    Rate of depreciation in reference to days

    • If Furniture is bought and put to use for more than 180 days, then the full rate of depreciation will be charged.
    • If the furniture is bought and put to use for less than 180 days, then half the rate of depreciation will be charged.
    • If the furniture is bought but is not put to use, then no depreciation will be charged.

    Depreciation is an accounting process of allocating the value of an asset over its estimated useful life.

    When a company purchases an asset, depreciation will be calculated at the end of every financial year on the asset. The company records the amount of depreciation in a separate ledger, i.e., Accumulated Depreciation. This expense will be debited instead of depreciation in the Asset ledger.

     

    Accumulated Depreciation

    Accumulated depreciation is the accumulated reduction in the cost of an asset over time.

    Depreciation is the reduction in the value of an asset over a specific timeframe, whereas accumulated depreciation is the sum of total depreciation on an asset since we bought it.

    we will understand this concept with a simple example.

    suppose machinery depreciates as follows

    Year 1 – Depreciation is 5,000

    Year 2 – Depreciation is 5,000

    Year 3 – Depreciation is 5,000

    Accumulated Depreciation in Year 3 = 5,000 + 5,000 + 5,000

    Therefore, overall 3 years of depreciation are accumulated at the last year-end.

     

    Journal entry for accumulated depreciation

    Example: Excellence Co. has purchased a new motor vehicle which costs $8,000 for their cab business. The motor vehicle is depreciated at @20% per annum. At the end of the year, Excellence Co. will record this accumulated depreciation journal entry.

    Year 1

    Depreciation A/c Dr. – $1600

    To Accumulated depreciation A/c – $1600

    Year 2

    Depreciation A/c Dr. – $1600

    To Accumulated Depreciation A/c – $1600

    Therefore, the Accumulated depreciation for the 2nd year end is $3200.

    At the time of the sale of the motor vehicle, the amount of accumulated depreciation will be reduced from the total value of the asset.

     

    Provision for depreciation

    Provision for depreciation is very similar to accumulated depreciation. Instead of reducing the amount of depreciation from the value of an asset, a separate provision A/C will be created, and the depreciation amount will be credited to the provision account, i.e., Provision for Depreciation account every year, and the asset will be shown the same value without reducing the depreciation from it.

     

    Journal entry for provision for depreciation

    Example: Yesman Co. purchased Machinery worth $40000 at the beginning of the current year for their production. The machinery will be depreciated at @10% per annum. At the end of the year, Yesman Co. will record this provision for depreciation journal entry.

    Year 1

    Depreciation A/c Dr. – $4000

    To Provision for Depreciation A/c – $4,000

    Year 2

    Depreciation A/c Dr. – $4000

    To Provision for Depreciation A/c –  $4000

    Therefore, the Provision for depreciation balance will be $8000 at the 2nd year-end.

    At the time of sale of the machinery, the amount of provision for depreciation created till the date will be reduced from the asset’s value.

     

    Conclusion

     

     

    Provision for depreciation and accumulated depreciation refers to the amount of depreciation accumulated over the useful life of an asset.

    The terms accumulated depreciation and provision for depreciation are different in hearing, but these are similar from the financial perspective.

    Let us first understand the concepts of Amortization and Impairment.

    Amortization refers to the expense recorded on the decline of the value of intangible assets of a company. Intangible assets include goodwill, patents, copyrights, etc. It reflects the reduction in the value of Intangible assets over its life span.

    Amortization is similar to Depreciation, however, while depreciation is over tangible assets amortization is over Intangible assets of the company.

    For example, Cipla Ltd. acquired a patent over a new drug for a period of 10 years. The cost of creating the new drug was 80,000 and the company must record its patent at 80,000. However, the company must amortize this cost by dividing the cost over the patent’s life, i.e., the amortization cost would be 8,000 (80,000/10) p.a. for the next 10 years.

    Impairment means a decline in the value of fixed assets due to unforeseen circumstances. Assets are impaired when the carrying value of assets increases its market value or “realizable value” and such increase is recorded as an impairment loss.

    Now suppose, Cipla Ltd. had existing machinery which suffered physical damage and is recorded at 50,000 in the books but the realizable value of the asset would only be 20,000. Hence, the asset would be written down to 20,000 and an impairment loss of 30,000 will be recorded.

    Impairment Vs Amortization

    Differences between the two can be shown as follows:

    Amortization Impairment
    Amortization is a reduction in the value of Intangible Assets over their useful life. Impairment is a reduction in the value of assets due to unforeseen circumstances.
    Amortization is a continuous process and the value of an asset reduces over time. Value of asset reduces drastically, creating a need to write down the value to its fair market value.
    Amortization is charged annually. Impairment is not an annual charge.
    Amortization is shown as an amortization expense. Impairment is shown as an impairment loss.
    Reasons for amortization includes consumption, obsolescence, etc. Reasons for impairment include damage to the asset, change in preferences, etc.
    Amortization is charged on Intangible assets Impairment is charged on fixed assets whether tangible or intangible.

    Suppose Unilever Ltd. has a patent over one of its products for a period of 5 years. The cost of the patent was 1,00,000. Then after 2 years one of its rivals, say ITC Ltd., launches a new product which is more preferred by the consumers over the one produced by Unilever Ltd. and the fair market value of the patent of Unilever Ltd. changes to 10,000.

    Now in this scenario, Unilever Ltd. would have amortized the patent (costing 1,00,000) at 20,000 (1,00,000/5) p.a. for 2 years and the book value at the end of the 2nd year is 60,000 (1,00,000 – 40,000). Now due to the new launch by ITC Ltd. the drastic change in the value of the asset from the book value of 60,000 to the realizable value of 10,000 will be recorded as an Impairment loss. Hence Impairment loss would be recorded at 50,000 (60,000 – 10,000).

    As per the Income-tax act, solar panels are categorized under the heading renewal energy devices. The rate of depreciation for these devices is mentioned below.

    As per the act, the rate of depreciation for solar panels is given as 40% as per the WDV method. Generally, these devices are treated as investments in fixed assets. Therefore they are treated accordingly like other fixed assets and are depreciated periodically in an organized and regular time period. The useful life of such solar devices is taken to be 5 years.

    Giving you a small example of the depreciation on solar panels.

    Solar panels were purchased by Agro Farm ltd. for installing them to be used for electricity generation. These panels were bought for Rs 2,00,000. Therefore depreciation to be charged as per income tax act over its useful life of 5 years is as follows:

    Depreciation as per WDV = (Cost of an asset – salvage value)* rate of depreciation

    Depreciation for 1st year = (2,00,000 – 0)* 40% = Rs 80,000

    WDV at the end of 1st year = (2,00,000 – 80,000) = Rs 1,20,000

    Depreciation for 2nd year = (1,20,000 – 0)* 40% = Rs 48,000

    the same process will continue till the useful life of an asset.

    The depreciation amount will be written off from the book value as shown below:

    Useful life Value at the beginning of the year Depreciation amount Value at the end of the period
    1 2,00,000 80,000 1,20,000
    2 1,20,000 48,000 72,000

    Straight Line Depreciation Journal Entry

    Straight-line depreciation refers to the diminishing value of assets over the life of the asset. In other words, the cost of the asset spreads evenly over the useful life of the assets.

    The salvage value or Residual value of an asset means the estimated value of the asset at the end of its useful life.

    The depreciation can also be charged with another method like Written Down Value (WDV) Method.

     

    Formula

    Depreciation per annum = ( Cost of asset – Salvage Value) / Useful Life

     

    The journal entry for the depreciation is:

    JOURNAL ENTRIES

    		  
    Depreciation on Asset A/C                               DR.
                                To Asset A/C
    (Being depreciation charged on asset)

     

    Now let us understand this with an example, suppose XYZ Ltd. has an asset of value 90,000 with a useful life of 3 years. The company uses the straight-line method of depreciation to depreciate the asset in its book.

     

    So, the depreciation per annum would be calculated as:-

    = 90,000/3

    = 30,000

     

    In Year 1, the depreciation will be charged as 30,000 for this year. It will be debited to the  depreciation account and credited to the asset account. Thus, the value of the asset at the end of year 1 will be 60,000 (90,000-30,000).

    (being depreciation charged on asset)

     

    In Year 2, the depreciation will be charged as  30,000. The entry would be the same as the previous year. The value of the asset at the end of year 2 will be 30,000 (60,000-30,000).

    (being depreciation charged on asset)

     

    At last in Year 3, the depreciation will be charged 30,000. The entry would be the same. The value of the asset at the end of year 3 will be Nil (30,000- 30,000).

    The depreciation will be charged to the profit and loss account for the year as it is an expense for the company.

     

    The entries will be posted into depreciation account as mentioned:

    Depreciation refers to that portion of the value of an asset that is written off over the useful life of the asset due to wear and tear.

    Now, when we talk about depreciation, there are multiple methods to calculate depreciation such as:

    • Straight Line Depreciation Method
    • Diminishing Balance Method Or Written Down Value Method
    • Sum of Years’ Digits Method
    • Double Declining Balance Method
    • Sinking Fund Method
    • Annuity Method
    • Insurance Policy Method
    • Discounted Cash Flow Method
    • Use Based Methods
      • Output Method
      • Working Hours Method
      • Mileage Method
    • Other Methods
      • Depletion Method
      • Revaluation Method
      • Group or Composite Method

    The most commonly used methods are discussed below:

    1. Straight Line Depreciation Method: This is the simplest method for calculating depreciation where a fixed amount of depreciation is charged over the useful life of the asset.

    Formula:

    Suppose a company Bear Ltd purchases machinery costing 8,00,000 with useful life of 10 years and salvage value 1,00,000. Then depreciation charged to the machinery each year would be:

    Depreciation = (8,00,000 – 1,00,000)/10 = 7,00,000/10 = 7,000 p.a.

    2. Diminishing Balance Method Or Written Down Value Method: Under this method, a fixed rate of depreciation is charged every year on the opening balance of the asset which is the difference between the previous year’s opening balance and the previous year’s depreciation. Here the book value of asset reduces every year and so does the depreciation amount.

    Formula:

    Suppose a company Moon ltd purchases a building for 50,00,000 with a useful life of 5 years and decides to depreciate it @ 10% p.a. on Diminishing Balance Method. Then depreciation charged to the machinery would be:

    3. Sum of Years’ Digits Method: In this method, the life of asset is divided by the sum of years and multiplied by the cost of the asset to determine the depreciating expense. This method allocates higher depreciation expense in the early years of the life of the asset and lower depreciation expense in the latter years.

    Formula:

    Suppose a company Caps Ltd purchases machinery costing 9,00,000 having a useful life of 5 years. Then the depreciation cost would be:

    4. Double Declining Balance method: This method is a mixture of straight-line method and diminishing balance method. A fixed rate of depreciation is charged on the reduced value of the asset at the beginning of the year. This rate is double the rate charged under straight-line method.

    Formula:

    Suppose a company Paper Ltd purchases machinery for 1,00,000 with an estimated useful life of 8 years. Then the depreciation rate would be:

    Straight line = 100%/8 = 12.5%

    Double declining method = 2*12.5% = 25%

    5. Sinking Fund Method: Under this method, the amount of depreciation keeps on accumulating till the asset is completely worn out. Depreciation is the same every year. Profits equal to the amount of depreciation is invested each year outside the company. At the time of replacement of the asset the investments and sold and the proceeds thereof are used to purchase the new asset.

    6. Annuity Method: This method calculates depreciation by calculating its internal rate of return (IRR). Depreciation is calculated by multiplying the IRR with an initial book value of the asset, and the result is subtracted from the cash flow for the period.

    7. Use Based Methods: Depreciation, under these methods, is based on the total estimated machine hours or total estimated units produced during the life of the machine. It is calculated by dividing the cost of the machine by the estimated total machine hours or estimated lifetime production in units and multiplying by the units produced or machine hours worked.

    Formula:

    Suppose a company Box Ltd purchases machinery for 25,000 (estimated life 5 years) whose estimated life production is 5,000 units. If it produces 700 units in the first year of operation then depreciation cost would be:

    Depreciation = 25,000/5,000*700 = 3,500
