17 August 2010I have two questions:
1) If Depreciation in an organization is done under straight line Method,what entry should be done in the case of write off?
2) In case of Straight Line Method of Depreciation do we depreciate assets used for less than 180 days for 50%?

Thanks Ashish & Kalpesh.
I have a little more doubt.
In case 2 if an asset has been purchased on 29th March and lets assume it has been put to use on the same day, should we provide depreciation for the whole year?
