Explanation / Answer
Assuming the financial year from Jan-Dec depreciation for the year 2016
a)Office Furniture- 02/03/2016-10,000 = 10,000*10/100*305/365=836
Machinery--07/22/2016-5,60,000=5,60,000*15/100*163/365=37,512
Used delivery truck-08/17/2016-15,000=15,000*15/100*146/365=900
Total depreciation =39,248 plus 179 hence total depreciation =39,427
b)Depreciation on assets acquired during 2017
Computers and info system-03/31/2017-40,000=40,000*60/100*276/365=18,148
Luxury auto-05/26/2017-80,000=80,000*15/100*220/365=7,233
Assembly equipment-08/15/2017-4,75,000=475000*15/100*139/365=27,134
Storage building-11/13/2017-4,00,000=400000*10/100*49/365=5,370
Total Depreciation=57,885 plus 179 =58,064
