Depreciation as per co. act 2013

This query is : Resolved 

08 September 2015 I have a query regarding depreciation as per co. Act. 2013.I am confused in retain earning adjustment . For example ..
If asset useful life is nill . if asset opening value as on 01.04.2014 is 500 and its scrape value is 100. Then as per rule 500-100=400 is retain earning . and if asset still in use then
I want to know what is the entry should b pass and what about scrap value . is scrape value mentioned in fixed asset chart ?

Thanks

08 September 2015 Scrap value is domain of MANAGEMENT and/or VALUER. Rely on the same else use 5% of COST as the scrap value.

If the useful life of the asset is NIL, it will continue to appear in the fixed asset register at 100 in your case or 5% if the 5% option is opted for.

As on 01/04/2014, the WDV is 500. So in this case depreciate the asset by 400 in the year 2014-15.

Can you please explain your difficulty about RETAINED EARNING in this regard?

08 September 2015 The asset continues to appear in the fixed asset register at scrap value or 5%, as the case may be, till it is actually scraped.



08 September 2015 what is the journal entry should be pass and is retain earning transfer to general reserve?

08 September 2015 I am really sorry for NOT understanding your difficulty with respect to RETAINED EARNINGS.

Anyway, let me try to simplify

Debit Depreciation 400
Credit Asset 400
(Pass this entry on 31/03/2015.)

Can you please explain the ROLE of retained earnings in this matter as appears in your query?


08 September 2015 asset is still in use and its life has finished. how can we charged dep on it. as its life has finished then 400 is should be transfer to retain earning .

08 September 2015 If asset has not been discarded how any scrap can be realised and how any retained earning would there be

09 September 2015 its mean when we discard the scarp then it will transfer to retain earning ?


09 September 2015 Facts of the case:
01. WDV as on 01/04/2014 is 500
02. Useful life is over
03. The asset is not sold/disposed of/ discarded as on 31/03/2015.

Please note that there are many companies in India, which are USING the assets (especially the heavy machinery like blasts, punches, CNC machines) even after the useful life is over. Vehicles are another good example. Useful life is 15 years for 2 wheelers. Many of us are still using the 2 wheelers which are more than 15 years old.

The point is sale of asset / discarding of asset / dispossing off asset may not tally with its useful life, in reality.

09 September 2015 May I have the honour to ask you a query?

Why are you so keen in routing the entry through RETAINED EARNINGs, be it now or after discardment? Any specific fascination for RETAINED earning?

Once the asset is sold / discarded / disposed off, profit or loss arising out of such sale is worked out and same is transferred to profit and loss account. Why are you referring RETAINED earnings?

09 September 2015 Okey okey sir i got it . actually i got so many answers from so many people that is why i am confused.

09 September 2015 Your confusion is absolutely admirable and adorable. Confusion indicates that you have started taking GRIP on the query.

My point is WHY are you dragging RETAINED earnings into picture?

I am not able to get your LOGIC of bringing RETAINED earnings in the issue. And hence the curiosity.

I will be highly obliged if you could tell me the line of your thinking to nest RETAINED earnings in the issue of depreciation.


09 September 2015 Actually i have attended two seminars related to depreciation. i have presentations copies also. i can mail you if you can give me your e-mail id. actually they gave two options to adjust difference of residual value and opening value as on 1.4.2014 whether difference can be debited to reserve & surplus or debited to p&l a/c or charged from retained earning.

09 September 2015 Thank you very much. Now I got the nexus. Thank you once again.

Please forward the same to amolshankar@gmail.com OR amol@vpraca.com

Without going into the details of the said ppt, let me tell you, you were quoting WRONG example and hence I was bit PUSHY in asking about RETAINED earning.

Companies Act 2013, depreciation schedule has led us to very interesting situations, no doubt about it. Yet another beautiful area is DEFERRED TAX asset/liability, as the case may be. Your views please.

your e mail is awaited.
