Short Answer Questions for DK Goel Solutions Class 11 Chapter 16 Depreciation

Question 1:

Solution 1: Depreciation may be characterized as a persistent and constant decrease in an asset’s quality, quantity or worth.
The two explanations for offering depreciation are below:—
1.) To calculate the actual benefit or loss from the profit & loss account.
2.) For the balance sheet to reflect the real financial condition.

Question 2:

Solution 2: The benefits of using the Straight Line Approach are below:
1.) Simplicity
2.) Properties can be written off entirely
3.) Initial expense perception and up-to-date depreciation
4.) Equity of the Burden of Depreciation

Question 3:

Solution 3: The merits in using the written down value form are below:—
1.) Quick to measure
2.) Equivalent fee against revenue
3.) In later years, no undue burden
4.) Wealth balance is never written down to zero

Question 4:

Solution 4: Here are the Instalment Reduction Process demerits:—
1.) The commodity cannot be written off entirely.
2.) Interest Factor Exclusion

Question 5:

Solution 5: Straight Line Method
1.) Per year, the same amount of depreciation is paid.
2.) Depreciation paid in excess to the initial asset value.
3.) The valuation of an asset can be reduced to zero by this approach.
4.) The Income Tax authorities do not approve this process.

Written Down Value Method
1.) Year by year, depreciation will be declining.
2.) The diminished value is paid for depreciation.
3.) By the WDV method, the asset’s value cannot be negative.
4.) This system is licensed by the tax authorities for taxes.

Question 6:

Solution 6: The original cost approach is known as the straight line method. Depreciation is paid at a fixed percentage of the initial cost of the commodity in this process. The depreciation rate remains the same as the year and the process is also known as ‘Equal Instalments Method’ and ‘Set Instalment Method’ as well. Under this procedure, the deprecation number is determined using the following formula:—
Yearly Depreciation =(Cost of Assets-Scrap Value)/(Estimated life of Asset)

For Example:- A machinery purchased is Rs. 1,00,000 and its scrap value is Rs. 10,000 its estimated life of 10 years, the depreciation will be:-
Annual Depreciation = (Cost of Assets-Scrap Value)/(Estimated life of Asset)
=(1,00,000 – 10,000)/10
=Rs.9,000

Rate of Depreciation =(Amount of Depreciation)/(Total Cost of Asset)×100
=9,000/1,00,000×100
=9%

Question 7:

Solution 7: It is necessary to open a new account called a “asset disposal account” if any of the asset is sold or disposed of. It offers a straightforward and full view of all the activities involved with the selling of an asset and illustrates the benefit and loss from the sale of the asset.
(i) transfer the book value of asset to Asset disposal account:-
Asset Disposal A/c Dr.
To Asset A/c

(ii) Sale of Asset:-
Bank A/c Dr.
To Asset Disposal A/c

(iii) Profit on sale of asset
Asset Disposal A/c Dr.
To Profit on sale of asset A/c
Or
Loss on sale of asset
Loss on sale of asset A/c Dr.
To Asset Disposal A/c

Practical Questions for DK Goel Solutions Class 11 Chapter 16 Depreciation

Question 1:

Solution 1:

Working Note:-
1.) Total cost of Machinery = Rs. 1,90,000 + Rs. 10,000 = Rs. 2,00,000

2.) Yearly Depreciation = (Cost of Assets-Scrap Value)/(Estimated life of Asset)
=(2,00,000 -50,000)/6
=Rs.25,000

Rate of Depreciation =(Amount of Depreciation)/(Total Cost of Asset)×100
=25,000/2,00,000×100
=12.5%

Question 2:

Solution 2:

Working Note:-
1.) Annual Depreciation on Machinery 1 = (Cost of Assets-Scrap Value)/(Estimated life of Asset)
=(68,000 – 8,000)/10
=Rs.6,000
2.) Annual Depreciation on Machinery 2 = (Cost of Assets-Scrap Value)/(Estimated life of Asset)
=(40,000 – 4,000)/20
=Rs.1,800

3.) Annual Depreciation on Machinery 3 = (Cost of Assets-Scrap Value)/(Estimated life of Asset)
=(9,800 – 800)/20
=Rs.450
Six month Depreciation = 450 × 6/12 = 225

Question 3:

Solution 3:

Working Note:-
Calculation of Value of machinery
Value of machinery = Rs. 8,000 + Rs. 3,500
Value of machinery = Rs. 11,500

Calculation of Profit and Loss:-
Price of Machinery on dated Apr. 01, 2018 = 8,337
Less: Depreciation for 6 months = 11,500 × 10/100×6/12 = 575
Value of Machinery on dated Sept. 30, 2018
= 8,337 – 575
= 7,762
Less: Sale Value = 6,500
Loss on Sale of Machinery = 1,262

= Rs. 1,00,000

Point in mind:-
(i) In order to calculate the right benefit or loss, the profit for each year will only be calculated after all the costs of receiving profits have been compensated for. The reduction in the valuation of real assets or depreciation represents the cost of collecting income in the financial year on the basis of the usage of fixed assets. To assess right benefit or loss, depreciation is neither optional nor mandatory.

(ii) Giving a real and realistic understanding of the financial situation: depreciation, if not paid, will result in a higher valuation of the properties. As a consequence of this, an accurate and realistic view of the financial situation will not be reflected in the position statement or balance sheet.

Working Note:-
Calculation of Profit and Loss:-

Point of Knowledge:-
(i) Asset disposition account: in the event of the selling of an asset. For the purposes of measuring benefit or loss on the disposition of an asset, a new account called ‘Asset Disposal Account’ is opened in the ledger. Journal entries for asset purchases or disposition will depend on the depreciation tracking process.
(ii) Written Down Value/Decreasing Balance/Reducing Balance Depreciation Billing Process: In this method, depreciation is paid yearly at a set rate on the decreasing balance or costs less depreciation. A fixed rate on the asset’s written down value is paid as a depreciation of the asset’s estimated useful life per year.
