Correct Answer: Loss on sale of furniture Rs 7,400
Depreciation  Rs 58,000


Solution :                                              FURNITURE ACCOUNT

Date Particulars Amount Date Particulars Amount
1/1/19 To Balance c/d
1 = 40,000
2 = 4,00,000
4,40,000 31/12/19 By Depreciation A/c  
1 =40,000x10%x 9/12
3,000
1/10/19 To Bank A/c (3) 3,00,000 31/12/19 By I&E A/c (WN1) 7,400
      31/12/19 By Bank A/c (WN1) 29,600
      31/3/20 By Depreciation A/c
2 =4,00,000x10%
3 =3,00,000x10%x6/12
55,000
      31/12/20 By Balance c/d
2=4,00,000-40,000
3=3,00,000-15,000
6,45,000
    7,40,000     7,40,000

Working Note:
1. Book Value as on 1/4/19        = 40,000
    (-) Depreciation @10%          = (3,000) [For 9 months]
   Book Value as on 31/12/19     = 37,000
    (-) Loss (20% x 37,000)        =  (5,400)
   Sale                                        =  29,600   
2. Total depreciation on all 3 furniture = Rs.3,000 + Rs.55,000 = Rs.58,000.
Hence, the correct option is 3.
