Useful life 8 years
Salvage value nil
Straight line depreciation method will be used
Depreciation till date 2017
1 January 2014 to 31stMarch2016
=( Cost of acquisition - salvage valueu)/useful life
For year ended 31st March 2014 depreciation will be
= $ 20000/8
=(2500/12)×3
=$ 625
For the year ended 31st March 2015 depreciation will be
=20000/8
=$2500
For the year ended 31st March 2016
= 20000/8
= $2500
Total depreciation of 3 years
625+2500+2500= 5625 accumulated depreciation
