There 200 chairs purchased for Rs.500 each.on 1/10/2009. What would be the Depreciation for the December Quarter? As per Cos Act an asset amounting less than 5000/- should be charged with 100% Depreciation. Will the chairs qualify for 100% Depreciation? What will be amount of Depreciation?

As per Co. Act the rate of Dep should be 100%. Because a chair doesn't cost more than 5,000/-. Dep will be 4562.19 i.e. 100000x(92/365) x 18.1%
The total cost of the asset is Rs.100000/-(200*500) so you want to claim the depriciation for Rs.100000/- i.e the total value of the Chair You should not consider the amount of Depriciation only the cost of the Asset hence you want to claim the depriciation on Rs.100000/- for chair.
