A company maintains its non-current assets at cost. A provision for depreciation account is used for each type of asset. Machinery is to be depreciated at the rate of 15 per cent per annum, and fixtures at the rate of 5 per cent per annum, using the reducing balance method.
Depreciation is to be calculated on assets in existence at the end of each year, giving a full years depreciation even though the asset was bought part of the way through the year. The following transactions in assets have taken place;
