Thus, the sinking fund method is used.Under this method, the amount of depreciation charged every year is transferred to the sinking fund account. This amount is then invested in Government securities. Also, the interest earned on these securities is reinvested.

The amount of depreciation to be charged every year is calculated after considering the element of interest. The interest will be earned on the amount which is invested every year and will remain invested till the useful life of the asset.


Loss on the sale of machinery should be written off against _______.

  1. Share Premium Account

  2. Sales Account

  3. Depreciation Fund Account

  4. General Reserve Account


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

According to the Diminishing Balance Method, depreciation is charged at a fixed percentage on the book value of the asset. As the book value reduces every year, it is also known as the Reducing Balance Method or Written-down Value Method.

Since the book value reduces every year, hence the amount of depreciation also reduces every year. Under this method, the value of the asset never reduces to zero.

When the amount of depreciation charged under this method and the corresponding period are plotted on a graph it results in a line moving downwards.

This method is based on the assumption that in the earlier years the cost of repairs to the assets is low and hence more amount of depreciation should be charged. Also, in the later years, the cost of repairs will increase and therefore less amount of depreciation shall be provided. 

Hence, this method results in an equal burden on the profit every year during the life of the asset.

However, under this method, if the rate of depreciation applied is not appropriate it may happen that at the end of the useful life of the asset full depreciation is not provided.

Also, while applying this method, the period of use of the asset should be considered. If an asset is used only for 2 months in a year then depreciation will be charged only for 2 months.
