Solution :                                              FURNITURE ACCOUNT

Date Particulars Amount Date Particulars Amount
1/1/19 To Balance c/d
1 = 20,000
2 = 2,00,000
2,20,000 31/12/19 By Depreciation A/c  
1 =20,000x10%x 9/12
1,500
1/10/19 To Bank A/c (3) 1,00,000 31/12/19 By Bank A/c (WN1) 22,200
31/12/19 To I&E A/c (WN1) 3,700 31/3/20 By Depreciation A/c
2 =2,00,000x10%
3 =1,00,000x10%x6/12
25,000
      31/12/20 By Balance c/d
2=2,00,000-20,000
3=1,00,000-5,000
2,75,000
    3,23,700     3,23,700

Working Note:
1. Book Value as on 1/4/19        = 20,000
    (-) Depreciation @10%          = (1,500) [For 9 months]
   Book Value as on 31/12/19     = 18,500
    (+) Gain (20% x 18,500)        =   3,700
   Sale                                        =  22,200   
2. Total depreciation on all 3 furniture = Rs.1,500 + Rs.25,000 = Rs.26,500.
Hence, the correct option is 1.
