Depreciation is a nominal a/c.i.e dr all expenses &losses.
cr all incomes & gains.So while Depreciating dr
depreciation A/c.All assets are Real acount. i.e debit what
comes in & credit what goes out. so When asett comes in we
will debit asset A/c & normally asset a/c will have Dr
balance.To decrease the value of the asset we have to Cr
asset A/c. Therefore The entry for depreciation is
Depreciation A/c Dr XXX
To Fixed Asset A/c XXX
Adjusting entry
Depreciation A/c Dr
To asset A/c
(dep provided)
Transfer entry
profit and loss A/c Dr
To depreciation A/c
(dep transferred to
profit and loss account)
Depriciation A/c
To Fixed assets A/c
Being depriciation comes in a nominal account rule and
rule of nominal a/c is dr all expenses and losses and cr
all income and gains
Asset comes in real a/c and the rule for real account is dr
what comes in and cr what goes out. thats after
depreciating the assets its value becomes to zero in the
end thats why the above entry.
Depreciation a/c DR
Depreciation Reserve a/c CR
Example
Depreciation a/c DR
Depreciation Reserve ( computer ) a/c CR
We have to create Reserve account head under Fixed
Assets Group for each Fixed Asset items and we have to
credit reserve account instead of Fixed Assets directly.
Mr.Guest you are palying and passing your valuable time.It
is a good site to revise yourself.Moreover I am giving
elderly advice to you to put your name while posting
question or answer.
Depreciation entry is an adjustement entry.Decreasing of
cash or Bank balance will not be occured here.And more over
Bank a/c will not be permitted in Journal voucher
Sri Gouse Mohinuddin saab if you put accumulated
depreciation account in credit where you find place to put
the asset.Think well before you answer any thing
My sincere advice to both of you is hereafter try to answer
or post question thru your e-mail.It will wake up you when
ever the answer posted. It helps you to revise and develop
yourself
Mr Guest be careful while answering Depreciation is an year
end closing entry and which is a non cash entry. then how
can you write deprection with bank. Try to use this site to
revise yourself and to become a guide to others
depreciation is not an actual expense paid in cash, but it
is assumed by owner to estimate the useful life of an
asset.we determine the life span of an asset then we apply
a certain rate of depriciation upon the asset so that we
can purchase a new asset after the finishing of the useful
life of an asset.
As we use an asset it certainly loose its efficiency.change
in efficiency is its depreciation.due to resuce in its
efficienc the asset reduce its value,however we are not
paying it in actual so there is no ivolvement of bank or
cash at all.
correct entry is:
Depriciation A/c
to Accumulated Dep.A/c
depreciation is an expense and dbit to profit & loss and
Acc.dep. is transfer to reserves on credit side of
balancesheet so Assets are on debit side and the
Acc.depriciation automatically adjust the balance of assets
on debit side of balance sheet.
