18 May 2015 As per the revised Companies Law maximum 5% amount can be taken as the reserve value i.e scrap value at last.

so assuming you are taking same.

The net wdv(closing) should be 5% which should be ideally transferred for asset disposal account.

Amount charged to Retained Earnings shall be the excess amount WDV which is pending as at the year end date for which wdv exists but balance life is NIL.

Treat any new addition as a separate asset as this is the case with Companies act .. unlike income tax act where the asset becomes part of block.

hope your query stands anwered.
