Dear sir,
Can the depreciation expense be computed using the following formulae:
Opening n.b.v of non current assets + additions – disposals @ n.b.v – closing n.b.v of non current assetsApril 10, 2015 at 7:42 pm #240823Yes – that is true 🙂
April 11, 2015 at 2:04 am #240841Ok.. Thanku sir!
April 11, 2015 at 2:19 am #240842And sir i ve one more question which may sound a bit funny but i am unclear on it.. Y r the figures for depreciation, doubtful debts, inventory, the opening balances in a trial balance when trial balance is “as at” say 31.12.15??
April 11, 2015 at 8:39 am #240869It is because the trial balance is prepared as soon as the bookkeeping is finished and before making the year end adjustments.
So the balances on accumulated depreciation, allowance for receivables, and inventory will be the balances that have been there since the start of the year. After preparation of the trial balance, we then make the adjustments for this year – i.e. charge this years depreciation, change the allowance to what is needed this year, and entering the closing inventory.The free lectures on these will help you.
