Respected Members If a firm bought a knitting machine of 10 lacs and paid cartage for machine 15000 and paid wages to cranes and labour 12000 and also paid 8000 installing charges Thus total paid amount of 10.35 lacs rs. Can we considered all 10.35 lacs rs as capital expenditure and claim depreciation on this whole 10.35 Lacs or we can claim only machinery price 10 lacs rs and all other expense as indirect expenses
