20. Depreciation
Depreciation MCQs
http://accountsclass.com/1070-2/
Depreciation types
Straight Line Method: This method is suitable for asset depreciate for lapse of time, such as
patents.
Diminishing Value Method: In this method annual depreciation is calculated on the opening
balance of the Asset Account and it reduces year by year. This method is suitable for
exhausting and costly assets like plant and machinery.
Depletion Method: This method is applicable for assets of wasting nature and also for
intangible assets such as mines, patents, copyrights etc.
Sinking Fund Method: According to this method the amount of depreciation is invested in
interest earning securities.
21. Depreciation
Sum of the years digit method
Machine Hour Rate Method: This method is used for machines where
productivity is relevant in their performance and in the case of machines with
high cost.
Revaluation Method: In the assets are revalued each year. The method is
normally adapted to charge depreciation on numerous inexpensive fixed
assets like small tools, live stock. Excess of the opening over the closing
inventory thus gives the periodic depreciation expenses.
For example, if the value of tools at the beginning of the year was Rs. 8,000, during
the year tools worth Rs. 6,000 were purchased more and when at the end
revaluation was undertaken it amounted to Rs. 11,000. The amount of depreciation
for the year shall be as under:
(Rs. 8,000 + Rs. 6,000) - Rs. 11,000
=Rs. 14,000 - Rs. 11,000
= Rs. 3,000
Insurance policy method: In this method annual depreciation amount is
invested as the payment to an insurance policy as premium.

This is avoided by sub-dividing the journal into various subsidiary
journals or books. The subdivisions of journal into various subsidiary
journals for recording transactions of similar nature are called as
‘Subsidiary Books.’
