Hi All,
Please tell how to charge depreciation on below scenario.
Just Assume
I have a Machinery (Duration of the whole machinery is 10 years). successfully i have charged depreciation upto 7 years. In the 8th year, one of the spare part of that machinery got damage. I have replaced with new one (it's tenure is 10 years). Now my question is
1. Do i need to charge depreciation on that whole machinery for remaining 3 years. if so, how about new spare part.
2. What is deprecation % for new spare part.
Thanks and Regards,
Raghu
Hi Raghu,
this answer depends on the accounting principle under which you report your assets. Unless you don´t provide the regulation under which you account, the question in my opinion cannot be answered.

Hi,
According to me you can use the concept of sub asset in your case wherein the Spare parts will be created as a Sub-Asset of the Main Asset and the same will be depreciated over useful life of 10 years where as otriginal Machinery will be depreciated fully in the remaining 3 years of life.
