19 November 2007Can anybody guide me on following topics.
-> Can I assume the number of days in a year for calculating depreciation or is anything defined in the Co's Act.
-> Should I first calculate the depreciation for the assets sold to arrive at exact profit/loss on sale of such assets. If so plz give some eg.
-> If Dep is to be calculated on the assets before sale, what amount to be considered for calculating depreciation if part of assets is sold.
plz reply as early as possible.

-No. of Days to be taken while calculating Depreciation is 365 (366 in Leap Year.)
-Depreciation has to be computed till the date of sale.
-Before sale you have to calculate depreciaton on the WDV of the asset.
