please helpNovember 13, 2015 at 6:43 am #282077Is there no answer in the book in which you found the question??
The cost was 381200 from 1 October to 30 November. That is 2 months and so the depreciation for this period is 2/12 x 20% x 381200.
It then increased to 381200 + 18,000 = 399,200, and stayed at this amount from 1 December to 30 May which is 6 months. So the depreciation for this period is 6/12 x 20% x 399200.
It then fell to 399200 – 36000 = 363200 and stayed at this amount from 1 June to 30 September which is 4 months. So the depreciation for this period is 4/12 x 20% x 363200.
