| 1/1/19 |
To Balance c/d
1 = 40,000 2 = 4,00,000 |
4,40,000 | 31/12/19 |
By Depreciation A/c
1 =40,000x10%x 9/12 |
3,000 |
| 1/10/19 | To Bank A/c (3) | 3,00,000 | 31/12/19 | By I&E A/c (WN1) | 7,400 |
| 31/12/19 | By Bank A/c (WN1) | 29,600 | |||
| 31/3/20 |
By Depreciation A/c
2 =4,00,000x10% 3 =3,00,000x10%x6/12 |
55,000 | |||
| 31/12/20 |
By Balance c/d
2=4,00,000-40,000 3=3,00,000-15,000 |
6,45,000 | |||
| 7,40,000 | 7,40,000 |
Working Note:
1. Book Value as on 1/4/19 = 40,000
(-) Depreciation @10% =
(3,000)
[For 9 months]
Book Value as on 31/12/19 = 37,000
(-) Loss (20% x 37,000) =
(5,400)
Sale =
29,600
2. Total depreciation on all 3 furniture = Rs.3,000 + Rs.55,000 = Rs.58,000.
Hence, the correct option is 3.
