Sol :
Depreciation = (Book Value - Salvage Value) / Useful life
Depreciation for the first year 2019(1st Jan - 31st Dec) = 10000-2000 /2 = 4000
Depreciation for the second year 2020(1st Jan - 1st Oct) = 4000*10/12 = 3333.33
Note : Since the asset is sold on 1st Oct 2020 depreciation expense to be booked for the second year up-to the sale date.
Book value of the asset at the end first year = 10000-4000=6000
Book value of the asset at the time of sale =6000-3333 = 2667
Asset is sold at 3000
Profit from the sale of asset = sold value - Book value
= 3000 - 2667 = 333
