Cost Rs. 2,10,000; WDV depreciation 10% gives Rs. 21,000, Rs. 18,900, Rs. 17,010, leaving Rs. 1,53,090 after three years.

Cost of machinery = Purchase price 2,00,000 + Installation 10,000 = Rs. 2,10,000 (installation is capitalised).

Under the written-down value method, depreciation of 10% is charged each year on the opening book value:

  • Year 1 (2014-15): 10% of 2,10,000 = 21,000 → WDV 1,89,000
  • Year 2 (2015-16): 10% of 1,89,000 = 18,900 → WDV 1,70,100
  • Year 3 (2016-17): 10% of 1,70,100 = 17,010 → WDV 1,53,090
