Answer #1

a) Total cost-2.5 million

Value of land = 3,50,000 (Land always appreciate)

Amount to be depriciated 25,00,000-3,50,000 = 21,50,000

Average life of office buildingis 60 years.

Depreciation for whole year = 21,50,000/60 = 35,834

Depreciation for 2019 (Apr to Dec) = (35,834/12)*9= 26875

b) Depreciation for whole year = 54500/7 = 7,786

Depreciation for 2019 (May to Dec) = (7786/12)*8 = 5,190

c) Depreciation for 2024 (Jan to Oct) = (35834/12)*10 = 29,861

d) Depreciation for 2022 (Jan to Sept) = (7786/12)*9 = 5,839
