Can anybody solve the below question and fully explain all procedures that lead to the final answer.
The plant and machinery account (at cost) of a business for the year ended 31 December 2008 was as follows:
Plant and machinery -Cost
]
2008 $ 2008 $
1 Jan Balance 240000 31 March Transfer disposal
account 60000
30 June Cash – Purchase
of plant 160000 31 Dec Balance 340,000
400000 400000
The company’s policy is to charge depreciation at 20% per year on the straight line basis ,
with proportionate depreciation in the years of purchase and disposal
What should be the depreciation charge for the year ended 31 December 2008?
THIS SAME QUESTION IS ON PAGE 45 OF THE COURSE NOTE.
