Question 86 Marks
Write short note on ‘Original Cost Method of providing depreciation with a suitable example.
Answer
Straight Line Method
This method is also termed as "Original Cost Method' because under this method depreciation is charged at a fixed percentage on the original cost of the asset. The amount of depreciation remains equal from year to year
Under this method, the amount of depreciation is calculated by deducting the scrap value from the original cost of the asset and then by dividing the remaining balance by the number of years of its estimated life. The depreciation so calculated and charged annually will reduce the original cost of the asset to zero, or its scrap value, as the case may be, at the end of its estimated life. Under this method, the amount of depreciation is calculated by the following formula:-
$\text{yearly Depreciation}=\frac{\text{Original cost of the asset}-\text{Estimated scrap valu}}{\text{Estimated Life of the Asset}}$
For example, if the original cost of the asset is ₹ 1,00,000 and its scrap value is likely to be ₹ 15,000 after its estimated life of 10 years, the depreciation written off will
$\frac{1,00,000-15,000}{10}=₹\ 8,500\text{ every year.}$

WN 1: Calculation of Profit & Loss on Sale,
WN 2: Calculation of Depreciation on remaining value of Machinery,
