| Cost of the Machinery | 4,00,000 | |
| Add: -Erection charges | 15,000 | |
| 4,15,000 | ||
| Add: Freight charges | 10,000 | |

Amount of depreciation on 31.03.2015: Rs. 10,625; on 31.03.2016: Rs. 42,500)
19.
| Point of difference | Straight line method | Written down value method |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Basis of calculation | Depreciation is calculated on the original cost of the asset for all the years. | Depreciation is calculated on the written down value of the asset year after year |
| 2. Amount of depreciation | The amount of depreciation is the same for all the years. | The amount of depreciation goes on decreasing year after year. |
| 3. Book value of the asset at the end of its life | The book value of the asset becomes zero when there is no scrap value or is equal to its scrap value at the end of its life. | The book value of the •asset never becomes zero. |
| 4. Computation of rate of depreciation | It is easy to calculate the rate of depreciation. | It is very difficult to calculate the rate of depreciation. |
| 5. Order of calculation of depreciation amount. | Amount of depreciation is calculated first, followed by the rate of depreciation. | Rate of depreciation is calculated first followed by the amount of depreciation |

(i) Wear and tear: The normal use of a tangible asset results in physical deterioration which is called wear and tear. When there is wear and tear, the value of the asset decreases proportionately.
(ii) Efflux of time: Certain assets whether used or not become potentially less useful with the passage of time.
(iii) Obsolescence: It is a reduction in the value of assets as a result of the availability of updated alternative assets. This happens due to new inventions and innovations. Though the original asset is in a usable condition, it is not preferred by the users and it loses its value.
(iv) Inadequacy for the purpose: Sometimes, the use of assets may be stopped due to their inadequacy for the purpose. These may become inadequate due to expansion in the capacity of a firm.
(v) Lack of maintenance: A good maintenance will naturally increase the life of the asset. When there is no proper maintenance, there is a possibility of more depreciation.
(vi) Abnormal factors: Decline in the usefulness of fixed asset may be caused by abnormal factors like damage due to fire accidents, natural calamities, etc.
