Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A tractor is purchased for ₹10,00,000 with a salvage value of ₹1,00,000 and has a useful life of 10 years. If the depreciation method is changed from double declining to sum of the years' digits after the third year, how should future depreciations be calculated to ensure the book value meets the salvage value at the end?

💡 Hint: Realize that you’ll need to assess the remaining useful life properly.

Question 2

Create a financial scenario in which a company switches from straight-line to double declining balance in mid-life of an asset. Justify your reasons and compute the expected tax impact.

💡 Hint: Evaluate your tax estimates carefully.
